Factory Saddle Pack Mounts For Top Force?

[GTodd]

Did Tamiya ever make a specific mount to use saddle packs in their TF/EVO? Or did Tamiya just expect us to use schumacher parts?

Nope, Tamiya expected you to use stick packs and included the stick pack battery holders in the kit. You will also notice if you want to fit saddle packs you will also have to drill holes as there aren't any holes for fitting saddle pack holders to the chassis.

Well that stinks, but there are holes for the mounts which is why I asked. In both the fibreglass and graphite versions of the chassis there are holes before and after the cut outs for the packs. You can see this in many of the showrooms.
