Saddle pack weight

[markwilliamson2001]

Hi,

I have just started a project to build an X6 sq.
I will not be buying the EC kit, but buying parts seperately, and using an old B4 as the basis. This is because I want to get some of the more exotic parts such as the DDP motor plate, B44 hubs etc etc... I am also buying the pre-made saddle chassis in plastic. I also want to spread the cost of the project and time over the next 3 months or so

However, I am asking about adding weight to the car, and more importantly, a basic overview of tuning with regards to weight and the saddle packs, and moving back to sticks when it gets wet/slippy.

From what I can see and have read...
With saddles, the servo weight seems to be reduced slightly, as well as the under ESC weight. Any difference in overall weight between Stick and saddle lipo is taken up by weights in the cell slots under the saddles, normally about 35-40g. Is this about right??

I run vampire lipo saddles which are very light (about 40g less than other lipos).

Thanks,
Mark
