I'm heading to Indy in May and taking my TC6.2 USGT car to run on a carpet track. I normally run asphalt outdoors. The TC6.2 has the factory mods with TC4/TC5 arms. I am currently using the Randy Caster setup that Caveleri used at the Tamiya track in California. What setup should I use for carpet?
Thanks,
Glenn

This is what everyone is doing these days, but I have to admit, I've never understood it. On a full size car, the manufacturers work extremely hard to make the chassis as stiff as possible. That way you can control the stiffness of the car at the corners by changing out springs, shock settings, and sway bars. If the chassis is flexible, it's harder to control. Maybe someone much smarter than me can explain why on RC cars, chassis flex is your friend???
Thanks.
Thanks.

In our case I've been running the rear roll center height quite a bit higher, it's too low base setup wise. The front is too stiff and when you start cornering the rear wants to twist the front, hence applying even more weight in the front outside tire and make it turn in hard. Having read in this thread about the front outside wheel lifting in corners it means the rear is dumping through insufficient roll stiffness. I don't mean to belittle Christian's work, he's doing a good job that works on track but we might address the culprit instead of disregarding the elephant in the room

Body Help Needed
Just built a 6.2 and went to mount body I had painted for the 6 and noticed it would not fit. Ordered a HPI 66 Mustang but can not get it to fit properly using the kit body post, have trimmed wheel wells all way up to fender and still will rub on top notch in front body post. Any suggestions or tips as to what I am missing on this?
