Here's an idea. What if Tekno would collaborate with thunderpower to make 4s saddle pack. I know some are using two 2s stick packs, but if it were 4s saddle, having the same dimensions except cut in the middle, it will give more options for weight distribution and layout. Not that it's needed since its not noticeable driving heavier on one side. As long as its not short pack, where battery life is sacrificed.
Just came to mind seeing as tekno seems to be the most innovative in ebuggy. I'm a fan of Tekno's lively steering feel, controlled rotation, overall handling, and having the most thought out design in this class. Got no complaints with my 48.3. Just throwing out ideas for future stuff.

Also a 4s saddle pack would just be two stick packs or two shorties. I don't see what your looking to gain. I also think s-workz tried the saddle pack idea before.

The saddle pack I was talking about was one that had the same width and height of a 4s lipo, bit length is split into two pieces.
Why did I suggest this? Because with the currrent way, I have to be picky with batteries to match electronics side. Don't want to add chassis weights to balance it because of extra weight.
Two stick packs take up so much space because the length and width is doubled. Only the height changes, leaving less options for engineers to decide the layout.
Yes I know there is no such true 4s saddle pack yet. That's why I mentioned collaborating with lipo companies to make them.
And no, I'm not going to back it up as if it is a sure benefit in this car. As said "it's just an idea."

my impression is that if you have a pack where your wires come out towards the corners you could be fine.
If you are doing the "race" look with 5mm connectors they you should be fine regardless.
My preference would be the retaining side clips but a velcro top strap. Mainly to allow the securing of the shorty lipos in different positions via an adjustable system that you can set bias as you want.
Depending on your vehicle setup for weight, it could be nice to bias the battery position with a lipo shorty setup.

Tekno discussed this a while back.

As I mentioned in my original post, I know there are some that are doing the two 2s stick packs. Serpent is one of them.
