I would say no mods needed means you can take out your nimhs and pop in your lipo pack without doing any work apart from flipping over the kit battery strap. Can you honestly say that they fit into the B44 with no mods needed? Having to lengthen the posts and having to come up with something to stop them sliding into the shaft count as chassis mods to a lot of people.
I will agree with you about nimh saddle packs though, apart from ones built by the r/c car specialist shops ready built saddle pack batteries just don't exist any more. High end buggies designed for saddle pack batteries already limit their market by not having readily available packs as every other car you can buy these days using 7.2v uses a stick pack. Anyone coming to 4wd OR from any other class would either have to rebuild their nimhs or buy new saddle pack lipos.

3200 are thinner than nimh, so just tape em to the bettery strap, im sure little johnny could cope with that.......... oh hang on some cars need thier chassis filing to sit the nimh in, maybe little johhny can not modify his car............to fit nimh
come on this is model car racing. MODEL how many owners do you know that are incapable of modifying thier car,is it not part of the enjoyment? if they carnt then there are companies that sell kits, if the owners carnt work on their cars, they bought em from toys r us!
how many car are there out there that dont have some form of mod done to em
