I thought gluing sidewalls has become standard practice for carpet?

Only the fronts. He accidentally put the glued tires on the rear and made his car into a drifter!

Lol Yep. Worst part was that it was only one side. It only drifted when I turned right.

I know with F1 it’s was front and rear. I only tired my VTA car couple times on carpet before outdoor started. Indoor starts back mid November.

Gluing the rear tires slightly can be beneficial when traction becomes ridiculously high on black carpet, but it does not take much glue on rear the sidewalls to cause drifts...
