that is the RTR version, not the kit version. I assume it says not compatible because the speedo doesn't have the cut off etc built in.
They certainly work in normal B4 kits, but you may have to adjust the battery retainer slightly to fit, someone who runs them should be able to advise you. Or there may be a thread in the associated section already.
The saddle LIPO packs are becoming MORE common now. When LIPO first came out there weren't many saddles around, especially hard cased. With all the 4wd cars taking saddle, they have started to appear from different manufacturers now.
you are probably best getting a couple of cheap packs of NiMH to get you going until the AGM meeting later this year when they vote on new issues such as LIPO. Once they are confirmed then you can buy them with confidence. Just didn't want you to buy new kit only to replace it a few months later! Of course, you could always carry on using the NiMH cells as they work fine, but if you are starting back from scratch then LIPO is the easy option as they aren't as tempramental as NiMH which need equalising trays etc.
