I do plan on sitting down and reading this thread tonight to get a better understanding of the car and settings....

So look for more questions... THX in advance!
I have a T2 in new condition I'm selling for $300 that comes with a painted body, stiff carpet upper deck (and stock upper as well) and foam tires. It was only run a few times on carpet. It also comes with stiff springs for carpet as well as the kit springs. PM me if interested.

The Xray T2 has been ordered.... With the multi-diff... Friday it should be here!!!!!
Thx for the offer but I want one that I can build from the get-go. I don't get a chance to buy a new car this type everyday!

front blades for the cvd's

Thats it....
I would also recommend a pair of C-hub bushings. Those can disappear easily. I keep one spare of drive shaft just in case. If you run outdoor a pair of belts would be also a nice to have

Nice to have a set of the rod ends and a replacement shock body or two.

Has anyone tried Tamiya dog bones with the T2? They look really close to the same size. And cost less.

The ball on the inside of the driveshaft (diff end) is too small.

I guess that you are saying even with the blade there would be to much movement in the outdrive.

I tried it but they didn't work for me. The length of the Tamiya dog bone might work, but they don't quit fit the T2 axles. They bind quite a bit, so if you file the ball end of the bone, then I guess it would work.
