I am going to blow the dust of my RC gear and come out. What size do I true the tires to and do you glue all 4?
Thanks, Neil.

42 at the largest. 41.75 fronts and 41.5 rears and yes glue all 4 tires. Be prepared for some traction rolling. You can't drive black carpet the same as grey, but it is nice once you get a setup.

Try 41.5F and 42.5R at first. You can always cut them smaller if it ends up not working well on your car. Definitely glue the front sidewall with a medium CA like I have at Matrix. Create a nice thick layer - it takes just a couple minutes. I don't glue my rears at all.
See ya Sat!

I do my rears. Less droop less camber and harder chassis settings.

Thanks for the suggestions, I am hoping to come out tomorrow night to put my 12th scale on the new carpet for the first time.
