That battery sure will work. You might need to change the plugs, if they don't still come with Deans, to EC3 plugs like you SCLP. I would even go with a battery with more mAh; like 1550 or so, to add more power.

Look at the measurements. Measure the battery box. If you expect it to fit----make sure. Otherwise expect to start cutting up the box. No biggie, it's carved up and removed all the time but at first it's kind of a psychological hurdle to overcome.
Hint-most folks go bigger. Hobby zone is NOT in it for YOUR good.

Hi Chris. Welcome to the forum. I would even go with a battery with more mAh; like 1550 or so, to add more power. Just to be clear on MAH numbers. The 1550 will not give you more power than the 1350 but gives you the same power for longer. |

I'd recommend cutting the base out your battery box to mount your batteries vertically. You'll have to move the receiver but it's not too hard at all. The Zippy 2200mah batts seem a good fit. They're not quite as wide as the battery box so it's got a bit of room for the wires to slip down the side without getting damaged.
There are plenty of pics of how to do mod the battery box, i've posted some myself. There are videos on youtube too.
