I spent three weeks researching trying to figure out the best car for me to do carpet racing. So far out of my element, I wasn’t sure where to start. My local track opened up around November, and I’ve been there twice now. Most of the racers either have Losi or Team associated, so that’s where I started.
The hardest thing to figure out was trying to understand what different letters mean at the end of the kits. For example, if you see something like “DC” on Losi it stands for Dirt and Clay. Team Associated likes to use “D” at the end of their car titles which stands for dirt.
I wish that I would have known that sooner, it would have saved me a lot of time. There were a couple of times that I almost purchased the wrong car because of that. From what I understand there is a way possible to set up a car meant for dirt or clay to run on carpet but I didn’t want to go down that path.
