I've only got my first Li-po a couple wxeeks ago. To have maximum flexibility I decided to go for saddle packs. They 're not rounded off either though and won't be a straight fit for the optima but that doesn't wheigh up to the advantage of no longer having tho mod cars like the YZ-10 to fit a stick pack.
Overall I think the modifications need to go from rounded to box style packs is alot smaller than from saddle to single pack

I recently found a vintage optima someone gave me over 20 years ago. It's missing lots of parts, but I have been restoring it over the past couple of weeks.

One thing that seems a bit odd is that the steering servo was only held in place by a...

Okay but you can access the drive cup grub screws without pulling anything apart.

The fronts are readily accessible but the rears will require that you to slip your hex driver between the transmission case and the aluminum plate.
It's tight...

Did some measuring, it looks like these Duratrax DTXC2613 3 body posts will work perfectly...and even better, my LHS happens to have 'em in stock! So no additional 2-week delay! I can get back to work on it this weekend. 8)
