Perhaps somebody tell me where are setups from the MSX being posted.
I tried it at the last WE race in Austria and was rubber tires (T.OFF C22) on carpet. The feeling I got was that the chassis was not stiff enough, but perhaps was only my setup.

Hi,
If you go to the first link in my signature, there are a few setups on there, as well as a few useful other bits and pieces.
With regard to the suspension blocks, running the car narrower tends to increase the grip, whilst allowing that end of the car to rotate quicker.
If you need the car to rotate quickly, try narrowing the rear blocks.
I find for carpet that D-D or C-A on the front works best.
On the rear go as wide as you can, say A-D, or X-C (for 19t or stock)
Martin Crisp posted a good carpet setup too.

This was for the MS car, but should work well for indoor carpet (he did win the 05 IIC 19t class with it
).
Something else to try is raising the suspension blocks and camber links by 0.5mm all round. This will raise the cars roll centre, making it react quicker on carpet.
