Good cars using stick packs?

[Edwardo5000]

Hi,

I'm looking for a good 4wd car that uses stick packs instead of saddles. It looks like they are very rare , and the only ones that I've found are:
- Schumacher Cat SX2
- Kyosho Lazer zx-5 SP (but it's a old version)

I've something like: "Why the heck can't there be more good cars that use stick packs!"
Does anyone know some cars like that? Or cars that can be converted?

I'm very curious about this...

Greetings,

Tamiya DB01R, or go old school and convert a XX4 to stick pack?

I think one of the Ansmann cars takes sticks but I think its not really a race car.

Thats about all the ones I can think of

You can't beat the balance of having all the weight grouped together and symetrical around the chassis center line ... it's just basic physics really.

Ive heard you can put the Ansmann Blizzard stick pack chassis on the X4 pro but I'm not 100% sure what else is needed.

I think the DB01R is the best out of all those except for the Cat SX2...
The others are old or not very popular/good racing cars I think.

The Lazer SP is not discontinued, what do you guys think of it?

Haivng run an SP for 15 months and then an FS for a similar time I can assure you the FS is the better balanced car.

That said the SP ran well and you will find plenty of setups for it.

The question you have to ask yourself is are you willing to race what you know to be a slightly inferior layout just to suit the stick type cells?

I'm very curious as to why some folk want to choose a car just based on what batteries it can (or cannot) accomodate.

Personally, given the cost of racing, a couple of packs of cells isn't a good reason to not get a car.

What I did was sell some stick pack, buy saddles, and get any car you want? You can use saddles in stick formation if necessary.

Are the front and rear end of the SP an FS actually the same?

Do we have al the cars using stick packs in this thread now? Are there any more?
