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.
Thanks niznai, yes I'm afraid the jury is still out on the slicks on carpet scenario. I did drive on carpet once with a set of Tamiya slicks a friend lent me and it felt no different to the S&M-Grip radials!
I have ordered some of the 3Racing 60D's mentioned earlier on the thread for carpet.
I'm always open to experimentation
