XB4 2015 Shorty or Saddle Pack

[david.smith75]

I predominantly race indoors on carpet and wondering whether I should be running saddle or shorty. Just bought the 2015 spec car having run Schumacher K1 in the past. Any advice would be most welcome.

Morning David

The majority of us run the car in shorty form, with a kit standard setup. Have a look on xray website at the setups

I've got the 15 and run in shorty still just sorting my setup but is very stable

Isn't there different configurations for the motor and servo etc, if so in shorty setup which side have you put the servo and motor etc. cheers

you can run your electrics either side, I use to have my esc and receiver in front of the motor, but I have not moved the receiver to the other side. The movement of your electrics helps for you to balance the car

Hope this helps

Here's how mine is setup

Thanks for all the replies. Just need a shorty battery pack now. Run saddles previously.
