I used the Martin Bayer Setup for carpet, running Schumacher Minipin.

I´m really impressed. Car has lots of steering, jumps very well and it´s aceleration is second to none.

I ran Durango and Kyosho on the same track before so I can compare.

I had some very bad "highsiders" and 2 really hard impacts but nothing broke.

Same to the drivetrain - nothing shimmed, everything stock. No Problems - and there is never more grip than on carpet with Schumacher Mini pins.

Martin told me, that the problems with the diffgears appear when you use too much oil in the diffs.

I filled the diffs with the HUDY scale, exactly like the manual says - no problems - super smooth and free drivetrain.

This car is a blast!

Not heard that one about the oil levels before. Worth noting. Mine was faultless on carpet with mini pins although I did start with the slipper loose and tightened it run by run until it was slipping a tiny bit but the car felt fierce. Really easy to drive hard. My diffs were filled as book half way up the gears when sat on the table. Seem ok so far.
