I'm curious to know how the Tamiya slicks perform on carpet because I happen to have a set of Tamiya Super Slicks (#53222), 60D slicks Type-A (#53340) & a set of slicks which look smaller in diameter #53215.

Can someone tell me please if they have had any luck on carpet with these slicks and maybe if they are perhaps similar to the above mentioned radials I use?

Keep in mind my mini is RWD (M02).

I have tried the 60D A slicks from Tamiya with hard foam inserts. They didn't work. Car spun all over the place.

Long story short S grips from Tamiya worked best. I have tried all the radials from Tamiya and then some. The next best were the HPI cross pattern radials. Car is still very tail happy out of corners but with a delicate trigger finger it works. Hard foam inserts.

I have asked severealtimes here but it seems nobody knows what to do, so here you go, this is the best I know.
