The Gen Xi can run any LiPo you want, either sideways or inline. The default configuration is sideways as in the kit. As the LiPo is down the middle in inline you need small electrics to make it all fit.
Sideways vs inline - the jury's still out I think. The V-Dezign is still working very well and that has a sideways configuration. I think unless you are one of the very top drivers you will not notice the difference. The more important thing is to get the centre of gravity forwards which all of the latest cars are capable of doing.
From what I have seen so far the Serpent is a marmite car, people either get it working very well or can't make it work at all.
Just a thought, if you want to save some money I actually have two factory spec Gen Xis and a load of spares that I haven't put up for sale yet. I gained Corally sponsorship hence the switch of car.
PM me if you're interested at all.
