my current lipos are aprox 26-27mm and i know they wont fit in the xray 009 or t3, so this is why am looking at the mi4lp now, if they wont fit them looks like gonna have to change batterys also

thou do you think will still be ok if i shaved 1mm of the bulkheads it shouldnt fect the stregth or affect any flew should it? by looking at pictures i guess this is where its hitting right?

This might be a completely thick reply, but here goes. I'm pressuming that when you saw height, you mean from the top of the lipo to the bottom, and that the width and length of your lipo is touring car standard ie 6 cell.

I got my Mi4 LP last week, and you have two options for fitting the lipo. One is with the "bent" battery thingy, and the other (standard way) is to use battery tape, so I don't think you need to worry.
