I actually assembled the componentswith the plastic tub Version 2 of my conversion found out that there is too much flex in the battery section due to the absence of stiffener. My target is to lower the CG as much as possible with a uni-body chassis uysiung plastic only components. To correct the flex issue, I build up a lower battery tray to stiffen the center section of the chassis.

Features of the Version 2 Chassis with build-up parts are:
- lipo saddle pack battery trays from DF03 battery cover making the chassis stiffer.
- center channel as wire ways for ESC and Servo cables into the hidden reciever behind the batteries. Wirings will be clean and away from source of noise.
- 2 center located mounting posts for the battery clip added additional center bracing for less flex.
- additional side bracing both visually pleasing and functional.

I am ready to reassemble the components and make additional photos in the process.
