Default Fitting Lipos and gearing for 10.5t for the E4

Ok I have been considering a change of class, I currently Run 5 Cell Brushless Mod (3.5T).

I want to run 10.5T Lipo, so

I tried fitting a friends 3800 Orion lipo in my car today and immediately hit a few problems, it wouldnt go in, but i think raising the top deck will help with that, but im not sure I could still get the battery tray, Is their a modification or will it fit once I have raised the top deck?

More of a problem, either way I put the battery in one of the connections was under the top deck. How do you guys connect the lipo to the ESC?

Sorry for so many questions but the E4 just is run in the UK by many people so help is difficult to get.

I still have to make my car weigh 1500gramms wheres the best place to put the extra 200+ gramms I will need to bring my car upto weight?

One last question, I need to be able to gear the car around 4.8 to run 10.5T on the tracks I race. Whats the best combination of Spur/Pinnion to get this with the limited movement for the motor?

If anyone has close up pics of their E4 with a lipo fitted showing how they go in and are connected, I would love to see them.

Many Thanks for any help.
