T2 007 & 4800
B18C Turbo,
I have the T2 007 EU and i have the Orion 4800 in mine.
I just sanded the top and bottom of the battery case and a
slight bit of the little knob that sticks down. It fits perfect and
no car handling problems from shaving the little knob.

4800pack
B18C Turbo,
I used the 120 grit 220 was a bit to smooth for me.
On the aluminun mount on the car i just shaved it
a little bit with the dremel.Also i had to shave the
four little plastic end pieces that holds the battery
and left the two center one's out and the battery
sat in there perfect. I have had no problems with
the mods.

Well I measured with my digital Mic, The T2 '007 has 22mm clearance for a battery pack. My Platinum lipo measured 23mm! I don't think sanding is going to make it clear because the plastic case is so thin!
I think my best bet is to buy some Orion carbon 3200's because they clear simply by notching a divot in the pack to clear teh layshaft bulkhead.

In my case, my US car requires 1.75mm of shaving, thats not possible! I think I have to buy the carbon 3200's, oh well.

With Orion's packs, you're getting a higher quality cell that is much safer and has better cycle life, not to mention the hard case. The MaxAmps packs are nice, but don't be fooled into thinking you're getting the same quality for a lower price. You get what you pay for with LiPo.

But, until MaxAmps reveals the source of their batteries, which definitely HAS been tested and scrutinized (as all LiPo manufacturers are), I will continue to consider them suspect and secondary. Not revealing the source allows them to exist in relative ambiguity, and I think that's a mistake for LiPo acceptance.
The hard case is a lot more than good looks. LiPo's are in a soft, vulnerable package, which is exposed in a sedan, especially the way we mount our batteries. It's my opinion, and that of many others that a hard case is a very good thing for our application.
That's great you guys got a good deal. I hope the batteries work great. Read up on proper care and safety, and enjoy them.

MaxAmps doesn't reveal the source of their cells, and just says "they're great." They would brag about the cells they used if they were from a company that's well-respected.
