Default Saddle pack mod pics

Post up your pics of you saddle mods.

Are you guys butting the saddles up to the rear mount as per pic?



Or shall I get the saddle back a bit further by cutting down the rear batt brace mount?

What advantages have you guys found from running the car in saddle pack formation? I've only run mine with a full size stick pack down the middle so far.

Generally the car just feels better with the saddle formation,better over bumps and certainly jumps alot better,you can distribute weight better also,the most noticable thing i found straight off was the extra grip the car generated,that stood out from the first lap

All of us that race together are all running the saddle formation and im pretty sure they would all say the same,you can also run a stubby lipo across that chassis which we tried at the last meeting and again that was also an improvement over length ways
