I would think the new stiff chassis (the Tamiya one) and the Tech upper deck would be the hot ticket for carpet...at least with foams. If I were running rubber I would go with the either the stock or new chassis (TAMIYA CARBON TUB VERSION) and no upper deck.

I had a pair installed on the front. It seems to work fine, just had to remove the red foam spacers. Haven't tried it on the rears though.

I was at Steve's yesterday and saw the XR-05 he is working on in his case. As far as the way it looks you would never guess it was not Tamiya's flagship. Although i would be getting the car for TCS so i can put all the really cool stuff on it!

Btw, I'm not looking for the upgrade parts like the Lightweight susp. kit, just the normal usual replacement parts. Thanks in advance!

I've tried low friction, titatium, replacing all again and again. But nothing has worked. Does anyone have any tips for making my turn buckles more resiliant to my lower driving skills?

sorry i can't explain it properly, hope you can understand...
well... pictures worth thousand words.....

When you guys say "turnbuckle falling off" I'm assuming they are popping off the ball studs? If so, you might want to look into replacing the kit black nylon ball cups with the low friction ones. The materials are different, and the low friction ones are stiffer than the stock nylon black ones as well. Also, while replacing the ball ends, you might want to look into the FL coated ball studs. The stock ones are steel I believe, and for about $6 you can save a lot of weight, gain even smoother suspension movement with the FL coated ball studs. Personally, I only popped off the turnbuckle on the steering a couple of times, and one of them is when I slammed full speed into the driverstand at Tamiya (it was one of them layout with a chicane right before you get on the straight
. And yes, it was one of those that was felt by everyone on the driverstand

the trick i posted was from last time when i used a kyosho tf-2 and it popped out most of the time so i just had to do that.
