Default Saddle pack chassis

What are handling differences/characteristics between the standard x6 squared chassis and the saddle lipo chassis ?

Thanks in advance

for me it's more easy to drive with saddle chassi and also weight distribution is much better. And I think it's harder to get roll

Saddle pack will make the car feel more balanced and less prone to roll. The new T shape configuration the team is running seems to take that another step forward too...

The Lipo's in T formation sounds interesting, whereabouts in the chassis are weights located when running the T formation (i have the rudebits under servo and behind servo weights)?

Ps. Congrats for urban x yesterday - your car looked well dialled

Paul runs shorty across the back with weight under it. Less roll and good weight distribution for him.

With T formation we are running almost zero weight in the chassis, however we are running a lot more nowadays up front (Brass bulkhead, with extra weights, under steering weight and brass front brace too...)

Is the T formation chassis the same as the saddle one?
