But I did end up trying a dual pack and a single pack setup (across back of chassis like yours) on a custom Revo. I never liked the ERevo's handling and on my custom Revo the handling seemed better to me. I guess the single pack across the chassis centers the weight more than the dual packs at the edge of the chassis has something to do with it. Any chance you ran the dual pack configuration and noticed any differences?
agree with you ,single pack in the rear with a same weight motor in the front gives exellent balance (all centered in the right position) ,batteries in the sides of the car makes the car unstable during cornering with grippy tires.
