Xray is perfect. It drifts so much better than my pro 4, Didn't know until I tuned it right.
T2 is the most simple kit to built, but be carefull with shocks though, it is quite difficult to get it perfect. Price is around US400 - US450 (SGD600 - SGD700). And you should get the US one, because it comes with 2 ball diffs and 3.5mm chassis which is good carpet and of course drifting. T2 and T2'007 is not so different, parts are still mostly interchangable, so if you have deep pocket get the latest one the T2'007. xray is so good in making RC cars, many drivers here in our track are using xray for carpet racing and no one ever complaints. T2 owners win very often and it ranks 2nd just after trf415 only.

T2R is plastic not carbon fiber graphite. it's heavier.

Well as a X-Ray driver for six years i still think that the T1 chassis still the best and i'm still using the FK 04 till now.
The weight is not so important in drifting BUT the balance is. So if u are a bit tight can try getting the T2R or if still can find the T1R.

Better car kit doesn't make so much difference in drifting. Not like grip racing, the important in drifting is your skill and how you tune your car to adopt your style, if you have good skill, you still can pull out nice slides with low end cars. That's the reason why so many drifters have made their TT-01 so unnoticable. Trust me, highend chassis is more for showing purpose than drift. If you bring a xray with all exotic upgrades, a fully hopped TRF415MSX or a car among best chassis in the world to a drift meet, you will get a big WOW from people and then, if you have really good skill with that highend chassis, you are a drift king.

One more thing, T2 may have understear problem with original setup. but if you tune it correctly, it'll a very good drifter. What I did was that I put on a very very stiff springs both front and rear, lower the chassis around 3 - 3.5mm, 5 degree front camber, 2 - 3 degree rear camber, set the chassis to the stiff setting if on T2 (or extra stiff on T2'007, Xray multiflex has 3 options on T2 and 5 options in T2'007 EU) and there you go. As far as I concerned, T2R multiflex doesn't work as good as T2 stiff chassis.

PVC is smooth enough therefore camber is not really needed... well... just my opinion...

they also offer the front solid axle. as well as light kits.. which i suppose means that ur supposed to install anything u prefer, not that its a definite "yokomo says this is better USE IT!" i've nver said that u can't drift using front one way, just mentioned that it performs in a different way, and some may prefer front ball instead. and while i may not be as "advanced" as you are, not skilled enough in drifting to use it, i was just wondering why didn't u reccomend front one way as well for the T2 since u seem to be such a great advocate of it, wasn't questioning anything else. i'm certainly not "against you" in any way, just wondering if you've changed your opinion about front ball diffs ever since using ur xray to drift instead of ur pro4. ( I'm assuming ur t2 runs on front balls ) at any rate, i m considering changing back to my front one way just to test it out more, since i've recently changed my suspension settings. anyway, peace, i'm in no way picking an argument, after all, everyone just wants to find the best way of running their cars.

After hearing all this talk of differentials, something off topic occurred to me....
Scene at drift meet Drifter 001: "Say, is that a front one way?" Drifter 002: "No, I use both balls..." Drifter 001: "Explains the smooth entry and exit."
It's bizarre what a bystander can think. =P

All i can say is that the car must set to what the driver wants. For some of us any car with 1 ways or ball diff are driftable, u need to get the hang of the reaction of the car to be able to control it.
SO is THERE a diff with 1 way or not is up to the level of skill whether u can control the throw of the car when using 1 way and also setting of the car.
Most of the drifters in Singapore are used to using PVC, so using a 1 way is harder and due to the uneven wear of the PVC we usually use 0 camber unlike other drift tyres availb overseas.
Anyways i do not really think you can feel the differance of the New Stiffer Lower deck and the wider Upper deck, Unless u are using it for touring. If u are talking about touring. DO NOT forget that everything got to have a compromise, u cannot set a car that is great when entering a couner and at the same time exiting a couner. But if u want to talk about touring set up pls not here.
Thanks. Just toking some RUBBISH.

It's multi diff now. And I use my xray to drift because i don't want to smash my xray in grip racing. Xray is more exspensive than pro4, and replacement parts is like double the price.
Nobody is talking about grip racing here.
And one last thing, no fight, no argument. Find the best setting to adopt your drifting style. Any chassis could be the best chassis for you, just how you tune it as i had mentioned.

Not to worry cause i not looking for a fight or anything, i just speak my mind.
Anyways the world is aready messy enough, lets not be too unfriendly to any other drifter and just enjoy the hobby.

I have a old T1 with CF chassis and keen to convert it for drifting. Appreciated. Thanks~!

mmm decided to modify my first reply. u can ask me by pm if ur sincere in finding out. since it concerns me alone, and its not something that u have to highlight on a thread. its way out of topic and not wat i expect from a forum mod. if u know that its off topic and not gonna do much except potentially start an argument then it seems more like someone other than me is treading on toes now. to bring it back to topic.. have to wait for rubbish's reply on T1 since he used it b4 and prob knows it better.
