Thanks guys....go figure. I'd looked throughout the last few pages but didn't see the post on THIS page. I did find that the multi-diff for the FK'05 will work with the T2 so maybe I'll pirate that from mine.

everything seems to have a reason if you will look for it instead of try to find a reason to complain, trust the xray design team, if you dont like it AFTER you get one, tell them why .......

I have never owned an X Ray, but I do currently have a 415 which is very similar to the 05. I also was mever really a fan of the belt over the top deck concept, although it now seems to be the design most companies are going with. And as allot of u have stated its all in the details. The more I examine the flex chassis concept the more intrigued as well as concerned I become. After really looking at the chassis and topdeck and the why the Aluminim standoffs are used, I think X Ray could really be on to something truley unique. There is however a possible chink in the T2 armor. Is it me or does anyone else see a possible weakness on the battery side of the rear bulkhead. It looks like that could possibly bend.

Now, if you guys are concerned about not getting your confirmation email. We can certainly start this pre-order confirmation process Jan. 2nd, it's not a problem for us. Just we thought that some of you might want to know as soon as possible whether you are going to get one on our first batch. Let me know what you guys think, I'll make a decision on Monday after reading the response on here. Please understand it is our not decision to have a car kit released around this time of the year when people are on vacation, but we will try and work with the pre-order customers as much as we can. Let us know what works for you guys
Happy Holidays everyone

Ill Factor: There shouldn't be any significant load on the right rear bulkhead in this location, if there is i would think you have a bigger problem, like your battery pack flying around in there, haha.
RC Knight: Start your own company! haha
