Default Battery up front

I got a second hand Wraith yesterday, with a battery plate up front, but my LiPo's are just like 4mm to long to fit between the chassis tubes, it's placed horizontally , behind the front wheels.
Would it do any damage if I sand down like 2mm of each tube for the length of my battery?

A picture would help, but I'd prefer not to weaken it like that. You maybe able to reposition it therefore a pic would help.

If it was me id just sand it but realistically it probably depends on how you use your truck. I only crawl so I generally don't take huge tumbles that could smash up the chassis. F*** it man just sand it!

Sand it off!
That way when it breaks you have an excuse to buy a fancy steel tube bent chassis!
