And if your track is carpet - do touring cars there run foam tires as opposed to rubber? When it comes to touring cars, rubber tires are most common for carpet racing, while foam tires are generally used on asphalt, and even then, foam is usually used with nitro touring - not electric.
xray springs are not color coded, but instead have the actual rate etched into the top of the spring. You may need to remove the spring from the shock to be able to see the number listed.
If the chassis is rubbing, you likely have your ride height set too low.
It may be annoying and time consuming, but I would highly recommend you tear down the entire chassis, make sure the chassis itself isn't bent (which is possible), and rebuild the car from the ground up using the factory set up sheet as a guide.
from there, reset your ESC and Radio to stock specs (NO drake brake), and set up your radio for the car. From there, you can adjust your steering rate and brake from the transmitter, which will further help you dial the car in to your liking.
Post some pictures if you can, just so we have a better idea of the cars current condition / setup.
I will post some pics later tonight. Thanks. But ya for onroad cars they run foam and don't allow traction compound. I've said several times we should be using rubber tires but they say the rubber tires didn't have good traction on the carpet there so idk. I will be redoing the setup either this weekend or next. But the avid chasis was new when I got it. The car had a tamale chasis on it when I got it. Would the carbon stock chasis help me or is avid alum better for carpet?
