Fellas..... below is a Carpet setup that took a lot of blood, sweat and almost tears. This setup is for stock racing 17.5 or 13.5 expert. Stay with 4 degree castor blocks. Often as racers we tend to want to copy other chassis setups while all cars (other manufacturers) react differently to different changes at different tracks, so get out of your comfort zone and quit using yokomo springs, they are not always the ticket. I believe there are tons of great spring combinations out there, you just have to find them. I used HPI silvers on this setup, if your track is high grip then go to HPI blue, if you want to take some slight roll out of the car then go to to HPI pink front & HPI silver rear which was also quick in testing. Again just because it's carpet it doesn't necessarily mean you have to go and strap on a set of yokomo springs.

The 418 is really good.... just put in the time and you will get there. I am working on a mod setup this week on medium grip carpet so stay tuned, but this will be my base setup to start.

Below is my setup that I believe is fast, carries a lot of corner speed, has lots of grip or traction and turns really well. Try it and let me know what you think.
