You did!
At a UF1 race weekend at the Gate a couple of years ago, you and I were both there. A race Saturday and a race Sunday. You were running a Tamiya car. On Saturday, you didn't run very well. On Sunday you ran great. I asked you what you changed, and you said you went to a full size 2s pack. You thought the weight helped. I kept that in the memory bank....
I started messing around with our saddle pack. I have not settled on whether it is truly better or not. It does make the car heavier by quite a bit. Frank went that way after I went to Vegas. Andrew borrowed his car for the Snowbirds and basically ran it the way Frank had it set up.
I have been fast with the saddle pack setup, and I have been slow with it. So it is not a must have just yet.....
