Re: off road carpet, Mid motor or rear??
Yep, mid-motor is correct. It also works on high-grip clay tracks. Some guys here in Ottawa tried it out on the Sutton Aviation track, which is pretty much as sticky a clay track as you'll ever find, and it worked out well. I didn't try it personally but I plan to leave my DEX210 in MM setup once we head back outside after carpet season to give it a shot.

Re: off road carpet, Mid motor or rear??
^^ See the initial posts saying that mid motor works best on carpet (which is about as high traction of a surface as you'll ever find) and high bite clay. Anything less grippy than those do better with rear motor for sure.
On super high bite surfaces you need the weight forward to keep the front wheels down more than you need rear traction.
