38mm... That is too high indeed, you'll need to modify the chassis brace (aka dremel it down) to fit the pack... I've tried my best, and I can't fit more than 32mm in there. The battery hits the belt cover :/
Another option is remove the cover, fit the battery, put on the cover, and charge the pack with it mounted on the car.
Don't bother with the battery holding strap.
With the foams properly installed the battery locks itself on the slot, needing no additional support. I don't even run the strap locker.

Will have to wait and see when I'm done building the truck when I get it.
Thank you again for your input.

I did this on my new yellow springs and it worked! No more rubbing on the shock body!

Thank you. Really appreciate it. I won't have issues installing a SP SA Ver2.0 1/8 esc, it will be the battery I purchased (GENS ACE 5000mah 3S1P 11.1V 40C hard case Lipo; Size: 138L * 46.5W * 38.9H mm). Can' t run a 2 cell lipo with the esc, thus the reason for 3 cell (4 cell definitely out of it.

Don't have any plans of racing (my racing skills suck ). The truck will be a build project of mine with my daughter. The closest dirt it will see will be my backyard and our near by park.

Made myself a new chassis brace to eliminate the bow affect that plagues the belt dive. I used 2 aluminum stand offs bolted to the chassis so the brace is still free to allow cross twisting of the chassis and not affect the handling. It just stops the dreaded lawn dart bowing affect.

So I found out tonight that I have to check my slipper nut after every race. I run on a high bite clay track & was running a variation of cavs setup, 27.5 with yellow springs in the rear. We have a quad where most of us triple-single & in my 1st qualifier I noticed I couldn't clear them like I had been doing in practice. Then I checked my slipper & sure enough the nut had backed off to being flush. I normally run it tightened down 2 threads with a clutch basket. Moral of the story is check your car after every race instead of leaving it in your pit & jaw jacking with the buddies! I qualified 6th but finished 2nd .

Having the two heaviest components on the same side=bad. The truck ends with a side weight of 150g/800g (assuming a 550 can and a 450g battery are used). You need to add ridiculous amounts of ballast to balance it out.
