After a shaky start in free practice 1 and 2, Rheinard looks like he's back on track and posting top 5 free practice times as the 3 time IFMAR ISTC is looking to add a 4th title this year. With the track being totally 'green', the team has made the adjustments and reverted back to the general ETS setup.

Chassis – Tamiya TRF419X
Motor – Muchmore Fleta ZX 4.5T
ESC – Muchmore Fleta Pro
Battery – Muchmore 6000mAh
Tires (handout) – Sweep
Radio/Servo – Sanwa M12/Xpert PI-3402 BLS
Body – Protoform LTC-R

Remarks – 3-time touring car World Chambrpion Marc Rheinard is using the latest TRF419X from Tamiya starting with the setup from mechanic Takayuki Kono. This didn’t work as expected due to different traction levels so they have reverted back to a mic of ETS and Euros setup which sees the front spool and rear diffs 1.3mm higher for more roll and bite as well as 0.5mm high roll centres. With the traction coming up and needing more steering they have also changed from 3 degrees rear toe-in to 2.5 degrees.

He started with SMJ Silver Line Spring TS3.2 (short/Pink) use around.
