in the parts list there is a saddle cradle convertion, and in the description it says that it is capable. just wanted to know wot i needed as i only have saddles. also isnt there an issue with connectors and the top deck with saddle packs?

looking at mine id say you will be fine with the kit top deck as it swings out quite wide at that point so should miss whilst still holding the saddles inline. obviously tho it will depend on the saddle packs themselves (have just found some with holes lengthways at eaither end rather than the usual both at one end) :P

Does this mean you have to buy extra parts to run saddle pack lipos?

Thought it was done so you can use either one straight out the box?

Wonder how much extra that will be then

As i wondered what the car will handle like with the battery moved to the rear.

But then again the car is new & ppl still learning with it.
