carpet setup
Miles, So Dialed's RC setup AI
For a Team Associated RC10 B6.4 on high-grip carpet, start with carpet tires that suit your track, then tune the chassis around how much grip it has. Carpet grip varies a lot, so treat these as starting points, not one universal setup.
- Rear tires: Common choices include JConcepts Nessi or Fuzz Bites, AKA Slicks, and Pro-Line Hexons. Racers report pink, clay/purple, and soft Z4 compounds.
- Rear shock tower: Try hole 3 (mid-out); hole 2 (mid-in) and hole 4 (outside) are also used on high-grip carpet.
- Rear anti-roll bar: The kit’s 1.3 mm bar is a solid start. Some racers use a 1.4 mm bar or no rear bar, so change this only after testing.
- Front shock oil: 35–42.5 wt appears in high-grip carpet setups.
- Differential fluid: Carpet setups vary widely; 7,000–10,000 cSt is one reasonable range to test, rather than a guaranteed best choice.
These tire and suspension choices reflect reported B6.4 carpet setups; the right combination depends on the carpet’s grip and your driving style.
If the car traction-rolls, try a harder tire compound or a stiffer front bar before making several changes at once. Tell me whether your carpet is medium- or high-grip, and what the car is doing wrong, for a more focused setup.
