Pretty much the material change is it with the only other difference being that the Spring Steel version is not factory assembled. That of course can be good or bad depending on if you wanted to build your own diff or not.

Hey lbckevin:

what gears (pinion & spurs) are you guys running for stock & 19 turn @ SoCal????
48 or 64 pitch???
What final gear ratio are you guys "around"???
I might make a trip down in the next month or so...

I did a little change to the topdeck (took some material away) and do NOT use shims anymore. It did not really change the stiffness of the car.

Yeah if I recall it will come with instructions and the T2 manual covers the full assembly of the diff as well. I recommend you getting some snap ring pliers; makes it a little easier. You pick them up at Lowes or Home Depot.

Default Sway bar on T2

I heard some racers are putting a sway bar up front on the T2's using other manufacturer's parts. Anyone know the part/part numbers being used?

I know Eric Anderson (EA Motorsports) used the Fk05 front sway bar and used collars to center it and used rear mounts to hold it down. If that helps any.

I used my RDX sway on the front and just used FK04/05 rear sway hardware. Like EA, I have to use collars to center the sway.

You do have to trim the RDX sway down a bit.

RDX 1.3mm bar

Not really, can you explain what the problem is?

I use PRS, Kimbrough spurs and TIR, Robinson Racing pinions

Ghoppa,

I run 64p spur and pinion gears at Socal.


114/27 in stock with a monster= 7.05, sometimes I run a 26 pinion if the track is really tight.

114/32 in 19t with a reedy fire label motor = 6.0

Default new xray t2

I seems to me that watching what everybody dislikes is a slight toe issue which I average out what people have complained about to be around ten thousands of a inch. The gap on your spark plugs in your car are more than ten thousands. That is so nominal we need to forget that and move on. In some industries that is within standards unless your NASA. This isn't rocket science. Lets help Xray with their car to stay the best in the world, and dominate this year.

I agree with jbent. These are such small margins that i dont think its worth worrying about besides the car will only go a fast as you can drive it there are very few people that are perfect. XRAY 2006 Here we come.

I am a machinist. Used to work for the largest Boeing parts supplier there is. I now work for myself.

But you are correct. .010" is a very common tollerance. Nothing on an automobile is that close, except the riding components inside the engine.

I would say that overall, with the fits of the assembly of the T2 and other XRay cars, they are holding no more than .005" of tolerance. They are pretty nicely machined.

Just for reference, the average human hair is .003" thick. Same for a sheet of regular paper. So, the holes are only off a couple hairs... LOL

So the Jwerks and the PRS are the only 64 pitch spurs that fit without modification, correct?

ok guys the problem i see here is that people are not respecting others opinions and findings. what might not be important to one person might be very important to another.those of you badtalking each other shouldn't feel offended unless you're reaping the profits from the t2's being sold.let's help eachother resolve these issues wether it be fixing the car or getting a response for it's flaws if any.i'm more interested in learning more than arguing with someone i can't see.
