Its a shame the TrueRC pack didn't fit. If it did, it would make my future conversion of the RC8 much easier...

I could probably make one, but I wanted a cleaner install and I don't really have a lot of space or tools to fabricate my own. Most of the battery trays are about 48.5mm wide and the TrueRC packs are 50mm wide. I guess it is a known issue with their packs.

Oh, I was referring to jnev's post about not being able to use True RC packs, only because they didn't fit the particular tray you are using. There are other trays out that will fit True RC packs, and that was what I was getting at.

They have some thinner cells out now (45mm) in 4000, 6000, and 8000 mah. I think I am going to swap the ones I have out. See www.truerc.net

jnev measure your pack (you have a 4s2p 10c 8amp pack don't you?). It's 50mm wide, but I think the 4s packs are about 45-47mm tall, so if you flip it on it's side it should fit well. Just make sure there's enough room under the body for a 50 mm tall battery.
