Stick the lead weights onto the chassis either side of where you want the Lipo to stand, then just tape it in - or mount two bit of angle aluminium on the chassis to stop it moving from side to side.
At least two of our club drivers, and I believe one of the top STCC drivers have mounted it like this and it does not affect the handling at all.
I did this originally to my Tamiya MSX MRE, having made a simple GRP bracket for it and it worked brilliantly - again the handling was not affected at all.
in that case any battery will fit, i wouldn't advise this though
