You don't show you have added extra weight, but the setup sheet shows a total weight of 1442g. Mine with a 7000mah GensAce, Mazdaspeed6 body weighs 1330g. Need to add 20g ow weight to reach the 1350g minimum weight requirement. Everything else is box stock, no titanium screws etc. Is it your lipo that makes all that weight?

Do you run with or without the single screw in the top deck near the motor?
"Full" is the amount of traction compound used. Covered the full surface of the tire.

I didn't add any weight. For TCS racing, you have to use Tamiya bodies and the Ferrari 458 is super heavy. Sure, I could have used one of their lightweight bodies, but I didn't have a chance to buy/paint one. Also the new ORCA 7500 pack is kinda heavy too. When I run regular club races, I add weight mostly in the center and/or electronics side.

Yes, top deck center screw was used.
