Whether its worth the money is essentially what this post is all about... I appreciate your feedback.

I used to run the X6 last season with the 4-2 battery configeration to try and get the weight as close to the centre of the car as possible - I found this handled a lot better than having a 6 cell pack from side to side. As most people are going to Lipo's this year, and as you cannot get a 4-2 Lipo cell you would have to go length ways again from left to right. I would prefer to run saddle pack Lipo's (like the S2) to keep the weight as close to the centre of the car like before. I've made a prototype using a modified X6 chassis and it did handle visably better this way. Also it allows alot more room for your electrics with no restrictions to placement.

Thanks again Matty,

Jon
