That's odd that the Venom would fit & the Sky wouldn't =

VENOM SPECS = Dimensions: 25 thick x 46.5 wide x 137.5mm long (0.98" x 1.8" x 5.4") This one?

SKY LIPO SPECS = Thickness(mm) 25.14 width (mm) 46.73 Length (mm) 137.96 This one?

Length and width wise it should work.

25.14 / 0.98976378 inches tall / thick


How did you manage to stuff the Venom in there?

The distance between the lower part of the battery holders and the chassis is measuring out to just shy of .90 inches / 22.86mm.

I'm not real good at math, but it looks like you'd have to raise everything / shim up everything that's mounted to the chassis or possibly just the upper deck with washers about 2.28mm = 0.0897637795 inches

It can be done -

However, this raises your center of gravity = It may not make a difference
if you're bashing or drifting...

OR

Relocate the battery holders - I'm working on a fix...
