You can run
Saddle pack Lipo's with this car as long as they are not too wide. They can be considerably thicker than this Orion Avionics LiPo. I am anxious to test a new front suspension for this car as well. In the meantime this car can be built right now.
The car handles better with the speed control up high when using the low GTP bodies. It makes the car more supple and forgiving. I had no serious driving errors in my last race. I have it up high because I run two batteries in the Nitro Main with it.
