A 2S LiPO saddle pack of 7.4V will never fit a 4 cell 12th chassis because they are sized for 6 cell saddle pack chassis...

Joost.
Will fit in several cars BMI, CRC Gen X etc.

I am doing it as a test mule as I tire of nimh cells that are unreliable and so time consuming to maintain at there peak.

Charge a Lipo days before put in car, drive. When I practice this is what I want to do, come race day I use nimh torch batteries
