It will work if the electrics can handle it but you need to make a custom battery strap

not sure how long the drivetrain would last, 4s lipo would give some serious power in one big lump, in particular the dogbones(driveshafts) would probably end up in 2 pieces pretty quick,

always worth a try though

I got bored earlier and tried fitting 2 lipos and if you put them on their side they they will fit snug, the connect them up like a saddle lipo and make a retaining device
