In my experience the v2 is a far more nimble car and therefore generates quicker lap times. The ease in which you can work on the car is also greatly improved from the v1, you can access the diff by removing only 4 screws which makes the car about the easiest car to work on I've seen.
Many do run the shocks on the rear of the car,which also involves removing a little of the material from the rear shock tower to make it fit on the rear of the bulkhead. Shocks on the rear help make the car more stable and safer to drive especially through bumpy sections and also calms the weight transfer to the front making the car easier to drive consistently. This is also due to the chassis of the v2 being around the shortest on the current market so the car does feel more direct than most. You may also have seen many drivers running the Tony Parr aluminium chassis that makes the car that little bit longer for stability.
I however get on very well running the shocks on the front of the rear wishbone as it suits my driving style so there is no right or wrong way. It's all down to grip as usual, we've found that if the grip was very high the car can feel lazy with the shocks on the rear so went back to the front for example.
One thing i would like to mention is how well the v2 can perform in lower grip with minimal setup changes, I would go as far as saying it's the best low grip car I've ran and it's a forward motor chassis with a geared diff!!
Just get one mate, you will not be disappointed.
