Rubber Tires/Carpet Setup
Hey guys. I know some have been asking about some rubber tired carpet setups. I got to run my car on carpet for the first time last Saturday and here is what I found:
I used Todd Hodge's Reedy Race setup (posted below) as a starting point, front spool and all, and it seems to be a pretty good, easy to drive starting point. I made a few changes over the course of the day:
- Stood rear shocks all the way up (#3 hole on tower)
- 4-A rear camber link
- .040" rear sway bar
- Parma M body
I was running a CO27 stock motor, and RP30 tires. The car was very balanced and easy to drive. Still a work in progress, but like a said, a pretty good starting point. Seemed to have loads of grip. I seem to be migrating to something like Schreffler's Express race setup with my changes, so I may have to give that a try next time.
