Default m18 newbie

Hey guys Winter time for me soon so i want to do something i bought my self a M18, i decided to get a penguin ( spelling) chassis as well and instead of spending the big bucks just got a Chinese 4200 KV motor.
i want it to run on low pile carpet.
How is everyone here presuming they have a roller car. god forbid some one buys something other then a rtr. LOL (j/k)
they look hot and i need something to do.
how is yours and what have you done to it to run better. I presume with the power you would have adjust to toe in on the tires to help it in the corner. I don't want the car to drift ( i think that dumb) i want it to have loads of grip and handle like its on rails.
any other tips out there ?
thanks
Taylor-

You will want foam tires then.

Run grease in the gear diffs, with a thicker grease up front.

Sounds about right.... foams with low slip up front.

What's up with the "chincker" racial slur....??? May you forgot, but most everything you own is made in china... welcome to the 21st century buddy.

Xray is engineered and made with pride in Europe.

lol... I know where xray is manufactured... that wasn't my point.

Taylor, seems as if this was a mis-understanding on my part. My apologies for the accusation.
