Peter Robinson has a setup for the spool @ Xrays set-ups.-"2005/6 NW Indoor Champs Tour Final"
He ran it at PeelIt, indoor asphault with similar traction to Tamiya's
He ran Mod and was hooked up.
Not sure how to make a link to it tho.

The shocks are indeed changed.
The top nut 'lost' the notch. Which makes assembling more easy. And the piston is shorter.

Watch Me git shot down for this one...
I measured the Shock shafts from the shorter of the T1 and they appear to be the same as the new T2 shafts.

Could be...

The original T1 came with shorter shocks in the front, but they were later changed to all one length in the Evo2...

Now Xray has gone to a shorter length shaft, so it may be similar(or the same length even) as the original T1 shafts..

Who makes a spool for the T2? I do not really want to spend the money on a multi-diff that I would only use as a spool.

TIR - Titanium Racing in the UK are just about to release one. I ran the prototype at the weekend and it was really good. Around 5g lighter than a multidiff and also seemed a little easier on the blades.

This one is all alluminium however in the near future they will be bringing out a version with lightweight delrin outdrives.

Guessing they should be available in the US through Schumacher who are the distributors

Do you think a novice would be wise to buy a T2 or would a T1FK05 be as good a choice? How would you compare the two?

If money is not an issue, get the T2. The 05 is a good car, but it's harder to work on. Plus it (T2) works well. I just ran mine for the first time last week and it was great. I used the kit setup too.

You've got 152 pages of great information here. Are the bugs all worked out of the T2 design and production? parts availability?

if you are a novice...i would definatly recoment the fk05...it is a much better car for a beginner because the chasis is much stronger and the car is extremely easy to work on....so is the t2 but the chasis is weak in the front...the fk05 is your best bet
