I think this is the most commonly asked question on 22's. This car is a nightmare to get electrics in to - I bit the bullet and bought short lipo's like the car was intended to run.
Not sure on the Zippy lipo's, but I had Orca saddles and they were way to big, sold them and bought Losi saddles but realsied to run them properly I would have to cut the side pods to fit - good luck mate
