The answer really is, it depends.

We used to run 1/12th on six cell around 10 years ago which is the same physical size as lipo saddles, and you will have to try work out how to tape them in as there won't be slots in the right places for tape to pass through. You then don't have much space left on the chassis so you need a small ESC and receiver. If the club you are planning on running at will let you run 2S, if you are creative enough and have small enough electrics there's no reason you can't run with 2S saddles in a 1/12th.

The simpler solution is to run one saddle pack on one side of the chassis and the receiver and ESC on the other to balance it and run it as 1S. Less likely to upset other 1/12th racers as well.

BTW SpeedzoneUSA are considering making a new batch of their 1S saddles, if there is enough demand.
