can yo use trakpower saddle lipos? i am using 3200's and 4800's . 3200's once you re-drill the chassis to move the post back . the 3200 will drop right in with out shimming the battery posts. i am only running the saddles because i have saddle lipos and no other car i have runs saddles.

The mods are worth it and are really easy. I would think about doing the mods and running a stick pack.

don't forget that the original predator was designed to have stick pack cells down one side of the car-the saddle pack setup was an evolution due to the weight of the cells.The original car was very difficult to jump well.

Stick pack lipos redress that un balance and the chassis is back being used as it was designed to be usednow.

Break out the dremel and do the mod-your car willbe better for it!
