Dirt and carpet

Post by Onesillyhatch »

Does anyone use the same car for dirt and carpet? I’m guessing this is easier with 4wd?

Thanks

I do, though I don't run on carpet nearly as much as I run on clay. Other than setup changes, I just clean my car really well and put some duct tape on the tops of the shock towers. Most carpet offroad tracks require shock tower protectors and chassis protectors to stop screw heads and other sharp edges from catching and damaging the carpet.

What kind of buggy are you running? An RC10?

I do also. As Nicholas said it's all about setup changes. I see no reasons to have separate cars for dirt and carpet besides the pleasure to own multiple cars.
