I'll let The Boyz answer this. I would think Elvo and Stefan would have this answer down pat.
On dirt, I've never found there to be a huge difference between the two. It's mostly a touchy-feely thing, you'd have to a fairly good driver running the two styles back-to-back to even notice it. Saddles feel a tiny bit safer to drive, and maybe a touch more nimble in chicanes. Sticks may steer a bit more, but it's mostly steering from the rear end. Aggressive drivers or steering junkies may like this.
Also, it depends a lot on which batteries you have. With the heavier lipos like the LRP/Nosram ones there's more of a difference than with some of the lighter lipos (Orion, Zippy,...).

ok thank you , it confirm my thought...
seem like car is more stable (over bumps and easier to control ..over big jumps) ..as more foward traction with saddle
compare to : stick pack.. lot more steering ..mainly offpower !
and ..i run a real heavy SMC 5200 pack, brass flywheel, 56 gr on servo
thanks
