savage xl larger battery box recommendation

[craig911]

hey guys and girls

so over the last few weeks i made some changes to my stuff

i decided to take the plunge and change from nimh to lipo for my RX battery,

no my dilemma, using the standard battery box the 2s lipo is too long to fit, is there a battery box i can install or something i can use to hold said battery

its 105mm long, 20mm thick

i did look at using a flux battery box but i don't see how i could mount it on the chassis, and if i could it would interfere with the brake linkage

so i'm just looking for some suggestions before potentially using velcro pads

Why don't you use this LiFe https://hobbyking.com/en_us/zippy-flightmax-700mah-6-6v-5c-lifepo4-receiver-pack.html ?
It's a perfect fit and you shouldn't even change the servos

i have looked into those, just a few minors, hobbyking shipping on batteries makes it not worth it for a one item purchase,

also its less voltage so less servo torque hence the 2s lipo not LiFePo4

Thanks for the suggestion though
