Most excellent!

Ah, I see. Not sure if that's more good news or bad news

I never stated that squat is due to the rear wheels being driven. I said that anti-squat, as accomplished by angling the inner hinge pins, is enabled by the rear wheels being driven. Here are my exact words:

...anti-squat, which is an arrangement of the suspension that uses the forces from the tire patch being pushed forward by the motor when accelerating...

Yes, a FWD car still squats under acceleration. The remainder of your statement is nicely worded.

Anyone else trying this yeah racing kit for there M05's broke and lost the Kingpin and plastic C-hub last in my parts bin hoping to get some Aluminum ones yes I'm aware they can bend. https://www.tqrcracing.com/shop/product_view.asp?p_id=12895

I e heard they're not worth bothering with. Not much more than that.

ummm i guess ill just get the C-hubs and knuckles then and skip the kit

Regarding the Rush brand of mini tyres, they have specific 24/30/36/40 compounds in the range, but does anyone know the compound of their 'carpet' spec ones?

RUSH Mini Tire Carpet 2pcs #RU-0334
RUSH Mini Tire Carpet Hard 2pcs #RU-0338
RUSH Mini Tire Carpet Round Type 2pcs #RU-0339

I race exclusively on carpet, and have tried the 24 and 30 compounds so far, and found the 24s work great on the rear, but I would like to try the carpet versions as well. It would be nice to know what they actually are though...

If you're running stock parts, then get some alloy c hubs. The ones in that kit won't fit stock applications.

Yes most of mine is stock with the exception of steering rack/slider and shocks. Knew one of these days I'd have to look for a upgrade.

howdy folks,

I'm interested in using a m06 or goose for an upcoming indoor carpet race.

I live in the tropics but I suspect the hall is air conditioned so temperatures should be around 24-26 degrees celsius. Carpet is typical event or mall roadshow type (not crc carpet).

I've raced in Tamiya's TAC type races where M-grip has the highest grip for racing (type A dont even come close). but i traction roll a lot and cannot drive as aggressively as i want to.

The upcoming race is open rubber tires on the same carpet. I was thinking of using 55mm diameter tires to mitigate the traction rolling... anyone has any suggestions what i can use? sweep? ride? shimitzu? tamiya (oh no!)? i'm open to suggestions!

thanks for the input!

The M06 works very well with tires. Soft rear and medium/hard fronts work best. I have Sweep 25 rear and 33 fronts. If you want to run 60mm tires, you can run S Grips all around, but the fronts will need glued side walls and it would be a good idea to sand the sharp corners off the tires.

My current setup for black CRC carpet is M Grips at the front with glued sidewalls and well worn in (3-4 years old!) S Grips at the rear.

howdy Monkeyracing!

thanks for the tips. I'll try to look up the sweep tires. Do you use pre-glues or do you assemble them yourself? cause sweep has 3 types of inserts for mini tires?

front: 33 with what inserts?

rear: 25 with what inserts?

I need a tire setup that doesn't traction roll as easily and yet has enuff grip for zippiness.

I'd love to use m-grips all round which gives super good grip but it tends to traction roll due to the height.

Medium/hard inserts work well. I'm stuck with soft inserts on my current set, but they're still better than Tamiya tires. I bought pre-glued tired. It's just easier.

The doctor is in.

Oh my word what has you done!
