A saddle pack 1S lipo is the same size as a 3 cell nimh pack, the 1S lipos used in 1/12th is the same size as a 4 cell nimh pack. This extra size just means they can get more capacity into the 1/12th pack. Half a saddle pack lipo will work fine but you might need to add some stops to the chassis to stop the pack moving about.

The main problem will be getting your ESC to run on 1S, unless it is designed to run on 1S you will usually need a separate receiver pack or a voltage booster.
