If your TA06 is a part-time shelfer, a carbon conversion I almost a requirement!

All mine are part-time shelfers, too, and they are nearly all carbon. The cost of a carbon conversion kit is minimal, considering how much better a material carbon is, than plastic, for a chassis plate/tub.

And compounds make all the difference, with drift tires, just as they do with grip tires. There is no such thing as an "all-around" drift tire, and different compounds allow you to tailor the drift manners of your chassis to more surfaces than just one will. I have roughly four different sets of wheels/tires for each chassis, so no matter where I may be, I will have tires for any surface I'm likely to come across.
Those angled tires are Yeah Racing 3 degree tires, and are some of the best available. The other compounds I use all come from Raikou Drift tires, online. The value-to-performance ratio of all of them are excellent. The rear tires on that RSector/TA06 in the pics are Raikou DXPE's, and are five, going on six years old! THAT'S how long they last. I can expect the same from the Yeah Racing tires, too, considering how much meat is on them!
