On my T416 I'm using the avid chassis on carpet. I recently acquired a team tamale chassis with one of my 14's. My question is - is the team tamale typically used on carpet or asphalt? It seems to have good flex characteristics but visually not as much as the avid. Thinking about putting the TT chassis on my USGT car.
Thoughts?
Thoughts?

I do know of one guy who ran a TT chassis on asphalt at last years' Timezone Grand Prix and he loved it. So there's that too.

Makes sense Danny. I appreciate the info. I'll try it out soon then. The chassis is in good shape and appears to be flat when I lay it on a thick piece of glass.
Our carpet track is pretty small, 17.5 in anything is more than enough power, and located close to the indoor dirt track and picks up some dust, and almost always feels like a 'green' track. So we're usually trying to dial in more chassis flex and traction.
I'll run it as is, do some tweaks, note lap times and feelings, then swap it out for the TT and see how it compares for me.

Which shock piston to use for medium - high carpet? Which thickness to use?
I couldn't find anything about it on menu, it just shows you have a few options.
and there wasn't any tuning tips.
Could anyone share your experience?
Edit: this is for user manual base setup.

The problem I am having with this design is, the settings of the car can be easily changed upon collision, which could also create more slop , I imagine.
Does anyone have any problem with this on real track test? Do you guys have any trick to prevent it from tweaking?
I guess I will just have to examine the car every time after it gets a decent hit.

Chassis plate wise, aluminum is nearly always the way to go in mod. It gets weight lower, numbs the feel of the car out a bit, and makes the car less susceptible to grip rolling.
I know for me when I switched to the aluminum chassis I found like 3 tenths a lap on most types of tracks I run on compared to the CF.

Finally finished build.
I really enjoyed the building these.
It didn't require any additional shims to make the car slop free, while my trf419 requires a lot, I also had to modify the shim options to prevent binding on my 419.
But T4 just seems to be so precisely designed.
The shocks are so much better than Tamiya ones...
Bleed hole works brilliantly, lol, this is my first time got 0 rebound without multiple tries, and it is the dead even for all shocks, I never had this experience before.
I think X ray will get all my money from now on.
