Ive been looking at the hb ve8 and decided to buy it with a MMM. Ive been thinking of using the Team Orion molecular lipo which is 139mm long. Then i became aware of the problem with the motor shaft sticking into the battery department. I was wondering if i could do any mods to make this battery fit, or if there is any other 4S lipos i could use. I do not wish to use anything less than 4S. I live in Denmark so it has to be something available in Europe and not just the US.

Thanks:D

Using the Hot Bodies optional one piece motor mount moves the motor towards the front of the car giving a little more room around the battery area. Most VE8 owners grind away some of the motor shaft.

The UK price of the VE8 has fallen form £280 to less than £180.00, making the car very good value.
