The battery stayed in position without any trouble with just the single velcro strap. The body shell stops it from lifting upwards at the front.
Don't forget that you're only trying to restrain just over 200g with the short LiPo.
I'm not quite sure if I understand you correctly about using saddles?
If you are using saddles then you will need to use the two velcro straps - but the battery only fits in the rearward configuration with the saddles because the width of the chassis narrows as you move forward and the saddle would be too wide.
You could always turn the front saddle lengthwise but you'd be reducing the RC space even more.
The object of the exercise for me was to determine how best I could package the ESC and short stick LiPo whilst keeping the wires short, having enough headroom for the ESC (the Castle is quite tall with the fan shroud on) and simply just seeing what looked neat.
TBH, I'm not sure what configuration I'll end up with - some days I love the idea of short motor wires and other days I like it with the battery rearward.
Decisions decisions....
