Do you have a good basic setup for astro medium traction ? And EOS carpet ?

I'm coming from TC car, so it's new for me
So, if you have some advices for the car...

Thanks a lot for your answer.

Best Regards,
You will be fine with the RB7! A really refined, balanced platform.

For astro and carpet, I would recommend:
-Red, yellow front springs
-Red rear springs
-Alloy rear hubs UMW704-0 are a good upgrade as stock are a bit weak
-Front and rear CF shock towers UMW 739 and UMW740, better suited to the car (different geometry)

Swaybars are available for rear and soon for front, but you don't see those used on current setups.

As for setups, the Marsden one is really good on astro. The Akimoto Hertz seems better on a twisty, small astro track. As for carpet, I don't have yet tested the RB7 on carpet but I would go with the Akimoto Yatabe one.
