I recently started racing 12th and have a t-bar style car (cyclone 12) and im looking to run lipos in it.

Now im kind of stuck because cells are starting to get hard to get in oz for a decent price, and im not keen of getting rid of my current cars and changing to a new chassis so early on.

Anyway just looking for some ideas....
Now there are 4200 roar approved saddle packs which can be mounted in the car if i cut a slot in the chassis to tape it down or mount it sideways. I dont like like the looks of mounting it sideways because the lipo then hangs a long way out over the edge of the chassis and one of the connectors is close to the pad.
Now my problem is that for a particular track we run in a few months 4200 mah is probably not going to be enuff and the 6000 saddle pack is way too high to mount under the shell.
Now im just thinking i have plenty of room so perhaps i could try running the 4200 saddle packs in parallel instead of series as they are designed can anyone think of a reason why this might not work.

Does anyone know if there may be any other options available?


Im also wondering if anyone has any feed back on the TQ receiver boosters. Ive been told that they have a tendency to fail, and they seem really pricey if they are not reliable. im thinking the novak would be the better option but looks larger.
