Default which battery fir the kf

Hi please can someone tell me which is better saddle packs or shorty for the low grip kf and why. The shorty seems more popular lately is this because of weigh or convenience.

thank you

Running a shortie with the low grip chassis actually moves the weight bias a bit more to the rear as well as reducing the overall weight. I find the car easier to drive with shorties.

I run my KF LG with shorty packs. The LG chassis does not allow you to use saddle packs. The cars I run shorties in run lighter than saddles so I can put weight elsewhere. The only car I run saddles in now is my K1 Aero.

In low grip format saddle is not an option.
