- Tamiya TRF417V5 - Craig McPhee - ACT MCRC - 10.03.2013 -
Here is my setup (v5) from last weekend's ACT Titles. I was able to TQ the event but the finals did not go well and I finished 3rd overall. The event was ruled by tyres, the control Sweep evo 36 dropped off by 0.5s or more after 5-6 laps and the glue job was flimsy which caused a lot of tyre failures. Fortunately for me I did not have any failures, and my car was also very easy on tyres which meant my car was still fast at the end of the first run and especially on second run tyres.

A few notes about the setup:
- On 2nd run tyres I used aeration dampers with MM400 shock oil
- I ran a grub screw in the front motor mount hole like Viktor at the GC ETS
Normally I wouldn't run the car this narrow, but on this track with these tyres it seemed to work nicely
The top deck was cut at the front from the "Y" to the hole above the steering rack. It made the car smoother in the high speed chicane. After trying it I think I will always run my top deck cut from now on
