The original chassis and the Squared are quite different, although the results are quite similar. If I had an original 6, I would simply begin running the new smaller stick pack across the back -- while we've not tried it on an original chassis, I think it would fit well.

If I had an original 6 and was determined to run saddle LiPo, I would do a bit of grinding on the chassis and it should fit just as well as it does on the Squared.

B.T.W. If you wanted to try the saddle you could get a second chassis -- I believe D.M.S. has 'em -- and then have two, one for saddle and one for the small stick.

you can also put a small stick lipo in a saddle chassis I guess. Or will it shift forward?

The short Losi packs are a tad bit wider than the side to side saddle packs so it won't shift forwards.
Not too sure if the UK team have been running the shorty packs or if they have been sticking to the added weight of the saddles.

The X6 works well with the centralized weight of the saddle packs in the UK. Where in the US and Canada we tend to be able to get away with the lighter weight of the short packs.
