I recently switched to a saddle pack style set up, and it felt very good on a track that I have never driven on. Im running IP 5600 50c batteries. I got them from Pro-Match. I recently had some problems with some stick pack style batteries I bought from them and swapped them out for the IP packs (pan style). The batteries are on sale for 25$ a pack!!!!! I ran them tis weekend and they were awesome, 3000mah after 10 min, they still felt very punchy. Here is picks of my ride.


I also ran Rcshox slipper pads, they worked great, were very adjustable in terms of how much slipping happens. They felt ery consistent and did not fade when runing the slipper on the loose side. Here is some more pics of how te pads looked after running.







as you can see there is no deformation or abnormal wear on the slipper hubs or slipper pads. I was very impressed.
I have to say that it is great testing out Rcshox parts.
