the carbon lipo retainer is quite useful, stops the lipo sliding sideways out of the car!

The cells can be a slight squeeze if your pack is right on the BRCA dimension limit. It also depends on your gearing. If you are running a slower motor with bigger pinion then it moves the motor clamp further forward and it is this that the battery jams against. If you can;t get the motor further back then one option is you may have to swap the internal ratio gears to allow you to use a smaller pinion for the same overall ratio.

oh, and you have one of the early top decks before they positioned the hole better for lipo packs

Aggghhh! Ok, ye it looks like i need to dremmel the retainer down as without it my lipo just about fits in as its tight on the bar that holds strap, I think ill have to shim the bar up aswell as lipos are too high
