Dave is spot on with his comments, with high grip carpet you'll need to run the car much flatter.
I ran 0mm Front and 0mm Rear to start on a flat astro track......lots of roll and too much on the front.
I then went to an extreme 3mm in the Front and 2mm in the Rear. Car was much much better, cornered much flatter but pushes a lot on the front. I found myself chasing grip on the front.
Finally I settled on 2mm in the Front and 1mm in the Rear.
I would say for indoor carpet you'd be looking at 2mm Front minimum. You'd probably settle nearer 3mm front and either 1 or 2mm in the Rear. It makes a huge difference in getting the car to corner flatter.
I also tried out soft springs F&R and loved it. It made taking the jumps very predictable.
Only thing I couldn't stop was it unloading the diff and over rotating. I was running 2000cst in the gear diff and didn't have the time to play with thicker oil. That'll be for next week and hopefully I can get the car to drive more forward rather than spin up the diff 
I'm learning so much more about this car with the adjustments I make. Still learning! 
Best of luck tomorrow buddy! |
Cheers Jason
I think ill go off the bat with 3mm front spacers, i know this thing is gonna roll like crazy going from past experience of the XMW on carpet.
Im using the geared diff as im trying to learn more about them (been using it in the YZ2 lately) and filled it with 3000cst, so ill see where that takes me as i know i wont have time to change that as ill run my 4WD too tonight.
Was leaning to a 19mm ride height too Guiness.
