So I can run stick packs.

Actually that is part of it, but mainly I'm wondering about balance. All the tc cars run a stick lipo on one side & electronics on the other. L/r weight distribution is absolutely critical for on road, so there has to be a reason. I'm just wondering if it is feasible to try for the b44 platform to see if it balances better. I like to understand the concept behind the design. 1/10 off road 4wd is the only category that uses saddle packs virtually exclusively. 1/8 off road uses both, & tc uses sticks almost exclusively. I would like to understand why 1/10 4wd off road is different.
