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."
