This setup has been kindly sent to be by a friend whom I have met recently. He's in the US now, and has graciously agreed to share his setup on this page. Many thanks to Benyamin Santoso for his extremely detailed setup. I don't have a TF-2 to test this setup on, so if you do try it, please let me know, so that I can feedback the comments to Benyamin.

This setup works on almost any surface, mine is very dusty that's
why the one way pulley is off. HPI's belted X-pattern tyres give the most grip
possible on dusty, unswept tracks. The middle steering setting gives
balanced feel of steering speed. Should more steering be required put in a
little toe out(1-2) since the rear 4 degrees toe in is actually more than
enough plus with the use of short wheel base, the car is perfect for short
tracks with sharp turns. Should the steering become too agressive install
the front stabilizer (yellow). All electronics are placed up front with
servo mounting holes drilled into the chassis, use servo saver at all times!
80% of the car's screws and turnbuckles have been replaced with titaniums.
Steering slop is eliminated by bolting the servo into the chassis. One way
will give a little more steering on the same setup. Remember to take an
early apex. Drift is manageable.
Please email me if you have any suggestions, questions, hate mail etc.
