I will finally be racing my 10T this thursday.
There was finally enough interest in stadium trucks to have a class for them.

Any ideas for setup/tires for carpet?

Currently have green springs on all shocks, and 30wt oil. Cant remember pistons, but did kick ass outdoors.

And thanks to scr8p for getting me back in on my original account!

Can I use T4 CVD's on the 10T? What parts would I need?

Carpet oval, or carpet off-road? T4 CVD's are not direct bolt in parts, you would have to change and modify t4 hubs/bearings & spacers. GT/T2 cvd kits are direct, with a 3/16 bearing swap

I have GT2 CVD's in mine, and they bottom out in the diff cups a bit before full compression. It wasn't enough lost compression to be of concern, so I just put some zip ties over the shock shafts (going to switch to fuel tubing once I can get some) in order to limit up-travel, and haven't had any issues since.

Placed second with my 10T thursday night. Beat some T4's. Couldnt catch one guy with a t4, he was really fast and my slipper slipped like crazy. Got a t4/sc10 slipper setup on it now. Works great.

Where I race everyone seems to run Schumacher Vee2 front and back, or they do mini spikes in the back and stagger ribs in the front with all of the outside blocks cut off. I have only recently started racing the RC10T. I am waiting for some new wheels and then will be trying the Vee2's on mine.
