You need to move the servo and battery posts, back approx 5mm and make a spacer to sit down the middle so theey can't catch the centre shaft.

Thumbs up lipo saddles
i'm not far off the finished thing, what material would be advisable to use to stop the lipos hitting the centre shaft?

I was under the impression that the bigger trakpower (4800) & their derivatives (checkpoint) don't fit under the body shell.
