yes, the S2 was much slimmer - only just enough room for 2 saddle Lipo's side by side. I will be keeping the X6 chassis the same size and shape as it is now so that you can continue to use the X6 bodyshell, but having more room in the car will allow for better placement of electrics and allow much more flexibility with placement of batteries - giving the option to run 1 single full Lipo from left to right or to run saddle Lipo's side by side closer to the centre of the chassis (which is my prefered choice!). eihter option will allow you to move the Lipo's within the car to see if handling can be improved by moving weight within the chassis.
I know that Lipo's are alot lighter than Nimh batteries but some of the Lipo's now are starting to come alittle heavier than the earlier ones. With previous Lipo's you had to put alot of weight into the car to meet weight restrictions which was good as it allowed you to place the weight wherever you wished, but if the Lipo's are starting to come alittle heavier the positioning of the cells will still be an important part of the cars set up!
Thanks again for helping out,
