Hi All
I like the car(X10) with a stick Lipo better than the saddle pack.
I have been using Lipo exclusively for 1 year now, and with all honesty I have no plan to go back to Nimh if I can help it.
However, we run our racing season as we see fit & do not follow Ifmar rules to a tee, only base the rules on them, change what we want & keep what we want. If someone wants to run a brushed motor & Nimh batteries he is more than welcome, but most of us run brushless & Lipo (any motor & any battery).
I find the X10 jumps better with the stick battery than it did with the saddle configuration, easier to keep the car level mid air & easier to land level too.Big jumps used to be daunting to me, as I recall, keeping the throttle "pinned" right up to the landing itself, where I would apply the brakes to get the nose down so the car would land on all "fours". If I would try to jump without throttle input or no enough it would nose dive.
It could be the weight of the Nimh cells or the "weight forward" configuration that made it a handful to jump, or a combination of the two, I don't know.
I'll put another way, when I get an X11 it's getting the "stick". LOL.
