Torps,

On REAL carpet tracks in the US, Asia and Europe, most drivers seem to go for foam tires, stiff chassis, hard front springs / soft rear springs, and around 5-6mm ride heigh-all this is Mostly due to the high grip levels on TRUE racing carpet.

However, in Australia we have very few if any tracks that use genuine racing carpet... someone correct me if i'm wrong. I know the ACT track isn't the Genuine grippy carpet as seen in the US.

As a general guide though:

Foam tires
Medium to Stiff chassis (if grip permits)
5.5+ ride height
Fairly stiff front end in terms of spring rates and shock positions
One-way OR Ball Diff

I found a One-way to be MUCH better to drive and more flowing than a Ball Diff at the recent ACT titles- but this may not suit your driving style and could prove difficult.

It is up to you to set-up your car to how you drive, but throw on some foam tires and Med-Hard front springs with Med-Soft rear springs and go from there.

You shouldn't have any problems with dust or carpet fibres, you will get SOME in your car but nothing excessive.

Try it and see, download some Factory drivers set-ups if you wish but keep in mind the carpet they are racing on may not be what we have here.

Good luck!
