The Stallion and 416 will fit lipos. The 415 does not because of the way the rear bulkhead was designed to hug round nimh cells. You could try the stick-pack conversion for the MSXX-MRE, but then your looking at the same price as a 416 which is better all around...
The Stallion is not as good for the money as there are still many hop-ups after you buy the car. I would only recommend it for die-hard Kyosho fans. There is a newer "Shin" version, but I've been told it's VERY expensive...

It's a great car. I currently run the 415 MSX MRE and I must say it's a tank. I've only had 2 DNF's in a whole season of parking lot racing and one was due to a broken RP wheel. If you plan on crashing a bit, order some spare lower control arms, front & rear uprights, and 46mm hinge pins (you don't need the gold ones). It's also probably a good idea to replace the 42mm aluminum steering tie-rods with titanium ones ($16 for Tamiya blue ones on eBay).
If you can hold out, you should probably order the new "Worlds Edition". It won't be out till Jan, but it has the parts that should be found on Rheinards car. I think guys have found them for $440 at RC Champ or one of the other Hong Kong online stores..
