There is a thread on here from a while back, were myself and a few others said the 3200 saddle was the way to go, as it is a drop in replacement for pretty much any car which takes saddles or sticks.

Its good to see trakpower have listened to what was said just need some one to bring out some big lumps of lead, as a 3200 will make the cars pretty light.

Those metal/lead plates that was brought out for 2wd cars seemed pretty good, all the weight low down, could be a good idea for some one to take up for the 4wd market to make some moola out of?

Well i just made a new link cable but not with the balancing port, as i didnt want to take the supplied one apart.

They should of made it like yours to begin with Mark, if i want to change it do i just take it off the existing cable and solder to the middle of a new bit?

I couldn't really get a chance to test fit it before buying, wouldnt of thought that many people will do! I was just assuming it would fit based on what i'd read in some of the other threads.

Dunno what to do with it now though really, keep it and run it or try and flog it and wait even longer for the 3200 version

[mark christopher]

use the original lead for charging or pm me your address and ill post you a new 2mm connecter to make a balance port like mine thought like previous use the oringinal to charge /balance, just leave it pluged to your balance cable

use it till the 3200 come out and then if you dont like it flog it, the 3200 will be cheaper much like the stick pack prices

note this offer is for Craig only!!

Ive decided to get the Trakpower 3200 saddle packs for club racing, but can't find anywhere to purchase them. Can anyone suggest a UK model shop, thanks.

[mark christopher]

there not yet available so you will have to wait a short while
