I too use a lipo rx pack 2300mah, yes it's a tight fit. However redesigning a batt./rx tray is quite a tall order just accommodate a lipo rx pack. Lipo batteries do make different claims about temps. for their packs, this is mainly referencing high amp draw temps and charge temps. If your car is as you say 150 deg your internal temp of your lipo IS cooler.

A change made here affects and creates a problem for the next guy.

Would love to see a slightly taller battery compartment cover to accomodate A123 or Valence Li-FP cells. They currently fit but with no room for foam.

A friend of mine had serious Problems with the Lipo in the XT8

could you warm the box up with a heat gun maybe and press it out a little to give you a bit more room?

I have used both the LRP & the PROTECH LiPo for 6 months in the EC/XT8 & the 808 with no problems.

All I did was to put an extra piece of thick heat shrink on them.
