Your chassis, and others like it, was designed for NiMH cells with a diameter of 23mm.
The LiPo packs you are using are 28mm tall, assuming they're the same as
these. Hence the problems getting the shell to fit.
I think the others who have commented are using packs that are/will be BRCA approved; and will therefore be 23mm tall (excluding any protrusions for chassis location).

What do you mean with a "direct" slipper?
However.. when you fix one thing. Here comes more trouble.
When The batteries fit, The batteryposts needs to go higher. I figured just use a spacer underneath, but then the batteryposts touch the body pretty bad. Making it stand out on the sides.
Is there a neat velcro strap or something that could help?
Didn't Losi use that some time ago?
Or will that be to loose and let the battery run free?
