What did you get?

Normal sized stick packs ought to fit - it might just take some wiggling if its the sort where the wires come out the end, and the motor really ought to fit!

the motor does fit but then the wires dont/ they get in the way of the top deck so it dosnt close

i guess it was my fault on the batterys found out there for the e-revo but they knew what i was buying them for? only found out they dont fit after i have solderd deans connectors onto them

Its a Cougar.

Can't you turn the motor so the wires are in a different direction?

I've got so many lipos now I don't know what to do with them, so if all you need is a battery I can lend you one (or possibly two!)
Mine all have tube connectors, but I'm sure someone will have a Deans to tube adapter they can lend you.
Just ask for Si, someone will point me out.

I've just made an deans to tubes adapter so you won't even need to source one of them.
I'm not sure which esc you got so can't say what you need to do on the setup, but bring it along and someone will know......

Turns out that the ESC was broken anyway so they swapped that although its not the purple one, nvm and they also swapped the batterys for me it works!! its pritty rapid, wheelies inside on the carpet but pulls to the left when accelerating. now comes the tedious setting up lol

If it wheelies on carpet it'll probably wheelie on astro too, but that's something you can sort when you bring it to the track. If we do have a practice session on sunday that would be ideal for you.
