I agree that at the moment A123 cells are hopeless for racing because of their weight to capacity ratio. But I have no races in my area so my toys are 100% built for bashing.

The A123 4600mAh 2S2P, and the 2300mAh 4s1p are 135mm x 55mm x 28mm

The E-Revo battery compartment is said to be 156mm X 50mm X 29mm

So only 5mm too wide gives me hope. There has to be a way. Then I could run as 2300mAh 4 cell, which would give my truck plenty of nards. Not sure what the run times would be but if I could squeeze 15 to 20 minutes of good bashing it would be good enough for me. I don't think I've ever drove my E-Revo for longer then 20 minutes in a single run so I'm willing to bet I wouldn't miss all those extra mAh.
