Slip slidin' away!
What does anyone else recommend for a mixed carpet/gym floor track?

Tyres or chassis?
Tyres, I'd use Schumacher Minipin Yellow compound. These will provide high traction on the carpet, and a little loose on the slippy. The contrast between the two surfaces will be high A lot of people also us the Schumacher Minispike Yellow Compound. These will offer higher grip on the slippy floor, and reasonable grip on the carpet, with the contrast between the two surfaces will be lower. Regarding chassis, go with whatever is popular and well supported at your local club. I'd like to think one of the leading UK chassis manufacturer's, from a UK model shop.

I had some more detail at first Dan, but thought that may have beeb putting people off, so I trimmed it back to the current question...and it was tyre question...my bad!
Carpet running was fine, but on the gym floor was a nightmare in places, seemed to be where there were loads of court markings using tape. In those patches, braking could be a nightmare. Car is a Yokomo Bmax2 on Mini-spikes all round.

What front tyres are you running? If you're running a spike on the front then your front might just be getting a lot of grip which is making the rear feel like it has none. Try cut staggers up front!
May also be worth posting your set-up in the Yokomo section and asking. The kit rear Yokomo springs are pretty stiff too, you might find changing to lighter rear spring will help you generate that grip.

Mini-spikes all round Dan, been advised against cut staggers on 4wd, on my Losi 22 by all means, but not the 4x4 Yokomo.
I was running an old HB D4 Cyclone and was getting nowhere, but recently acquired the Yokomo and overnight Ive seen improvements on club nights. Speed is turned back a bit, so a lot less whanging it off the wall all night, but it does run pretty stable on the whole using min-spikes or pins all round.
