Does E-revo chassis fit A123 cells?

There is a picture complete with tray dimensions in a sticky in the E-Revo section of the Traxxas forums that should answer your question. But, my first instinct is to say no, it won't fit without mods.

my 2S2P's were too wide (by about 1/2" or so). But they fit length and height wise.

So in other words, it can't be done with 14 M1 cells... bummer.

Does a 4 cell stick pack of M1 cells fit? Like a double shotgun pack, two-by-two? I'm guessing 4 cells on each side like this is the max you can technically fit in it?

This would work great actually, if only a controller could handle the extra 3.3volts @ 26.4volts... has anyone experimented with the MMM on voltage capability? Because we all know the MM could do 35% more than rated!

I do need a new controller this year, what about the RX8? Can it handle 26.4volts?

The MMM is said to work on 7s a123. I haven't tried it myself though.
