Yes, I have a T piece between the cells. It is bolted to the rear pod lower plate using spacers, and uses a pair of associated pan car ball pivots on the chassis so it can move.

So what to use for a rear axle... Buy the hubs n such and mount them on a carbon tube of the appropriate diameter? Or is there more to it than that?

Bolting the hubs to a carbon tube will leave you with no differential and awful handling. Mine uses a Trinity rear axle and diff, the left side diff drive plate is built into the axle and the Trinity axle assembly was used as the spacing was better for me. The left side hub was custom turned on a lathe to get the rear width right.
Depending on whether you want to build a T piece or a link rear suspension, I suggest you look through the Team Associated manuals to get familiar with the design of these cars.
