battery configuration?

[aus jd 2703]

i recently bought 4 brand new zapped gp 3700 packs in stick pack form, cause this is what fitted my tl-01 but i got a bargain mi2 ($230 aus) and now either need to buy the stick pack holder or convert to side x side pack i have an intellipeak ice and cant us the temp sensor when in stick pack form but converting the packs is gonna cost $60 total so it about $20 is it worth the extra money to have the packs in that configuration?
what are the advantages??
thanks for any help

Very worth the money. Plus they'll last longer then in stick form.

Chill dude. You type like your nervous or something. Get the deans with pre-wired leads on them cause they can be tough to solder if you never been there.

lol i know ive soldered and esc and hated the deans plugs lol so will deans do?

deans are the most efficient plugs, speaking only in resistance. so they should be fine.

You could always use PowerPoles, which are cheaper and can be crimped with a crimper from Radio Shack.

i actually use powerpoles and I like them alot more than the deans that I used to use
