I've used the Speedzone saddle pack in the OD12 and it fit perfectly with no modifications. Performance was better than with the battery hung on one side
I ran this battery pack on my L3 at IIC last week; I was the only 1/12th scale there running a t-plate car. I think this pack along with the new ESC's with the booster built in can really give some life back into the older cars.
I thought it performed great. I came in 2nd in the D-main so while that isn't a ringing endorsement, driving wise I was very happy with handling of the car.
Yes, bullet connectors would be better, but I was really glad to have this kind of pack available.
