With Lipo's lighter than NiMH or NiCd cells, there is not an issue with the perceived problem of weight being higher than normal, thus allegedly changing the C of G, to unduly alter the handling characteristics.
It's a solution to the problem that works.
But if you don't like this idea, then make a cradle from GRP to hold the Lipo in its' conventional position, but mounted around 10mm further out from the normal position. Whilst it overhangs the chassis marginally, again the solution works and has no affect on the handling. Again there are several cars running in this part of the world with this configuration without difficulty.
