This is one of Cordts' setups from the RMR Thorax thread.

This is possibly my favorite pvp setup for the Thorax, and it has served me well. It takes advantage of the bonus to the blasters, (I'll be using T2 as soon as I have the skills), the range with a 7.5k scram and med nos, and web. The low slots are my favorite part here, however.
I, personally, do not see the value in massive hitpoints with no resistances. What I like to do is have good resists on the stock armor, which is decent on a Thorax. With the resists this gives me (all above 40, all but explosive above 60), along with the little boost to shield, and pretty noticable boost to structure from the damage control, makes it a pretty survivable tank, but that's with my way of thinking in solo PVP. That being, I'll fight til I'm dead or he's dead, because anybody that has a chance against me has probably got a scrambler fitted anyway, so forget trying to run.
The two small t2 reppers, however, are a lifesaver. There are times where the burst repairing of a medium repper just doesn't help because you just won't survive to that next burst of new armor, and there are other times where you don't need to repair that much, especially at the cost of that much cap. With this, all you have to do is turn on one of the reppers if you start taking damage. If the damage overwhelms the one repper and you still have cap remaining to duke it out, turn the other repper on staggers, and they'll repair so quickly it's unbelievable because of the staggered timings, allowing you to do this in bursts.
If you're PVPing in a 1600mm plated Thorax with small rails and you're winning or at least surviving most of your encounters then more power to you. Whatever works for you is what you should use.
