I'll try to put Elvo's and Dan's posts in different words. The # 1009 saddle pack chassis is a tuning option, much like the # 1005 graphite and # 1006 plastic.
Depends entirely on your track and the batteries you have.
A good 3800 or 4000 40C or more stick pack will fit well in the car (height) and have all the run time and punch anybody needs in buggy. Once you get over 4000 the pack is heavier so weight to the outside can become an issue. Sometimes a bit more chassis lean is actually good, and often a sway bar is the answer.
X Factory is purely a racing company. We assume nobody has ever run one of our cars in his back yard. We know the Family is a group of guys who love their cars, that building them is half the fun, and so far it's been easy for us to resist China and the RTR thing. Because we are a racing company we want you to have every option to go as fast as humanly possible, so we give you as many options as possible.
Saddle chassis is another option. For some drivers on some tracks, saddle is the way to fly. For others it's stick graphite, and for still others it's stick plastic. You get choice, not chance, with X Factory.
B.T.W. the # 1009 saddle chassis will still accept stick. Same CF hold-down with same chassis posts for both.
