if your going to put a 1/10th motor . maybe a one cell lipo could do the trick .
ie : 4200mAh 3.7V Carbon LiPo battery, for 1/12-scale cars

Tried this myself, and using a 1 cell lipo with a 3.5t motor gives reasonable power in a car on the weight limit, but imo isn't worth the trouble.
If you go this route you need a receiver pack. - The 1/12 style regulators don't give enough oomph.
But the main drawback is the amount of time to charge as the lower voltage means you take a lot more out of the pack than with 2s. You can't get away with one battery unless you are running at a very large meeting.
A 2s micro pack like the one pictured in the car, or low capacity full size 2s pack such as orions 2400 which only weighs 150g is a better option. But it will depend on your local rules as to what you can do.
