Goes well, whatever the power plant. Must be something in the good design.......whichever side the cells/motoor are on

Anyone settled on a good carpet set-up yet??

Yep Stiff and no flex try 50w oil all around....but you might also want to look into a set of PAL hubs and such since the standard hubs are not to Foam tire friendly...but if you use Rubber on carpet..your in fat city

The guys at club run foams on a club evening but the local championship is run on rubber, so will try and test using rubber tyres, will give them a shock when I match their pace and they find out im not running foams!!!

Big trouble is, I cant race for another two weeks as Im in hospital for a few running repairs, so this will leave me with one club night to try things out before the start of the championship. Got the batts ready, still to go down and biuld the motors yet for the season, only 100 or so to build, shouldnt take more than 5 mins LOL
