Does yours have a horizontal bar across the middle? I cut that out on mine and it's fine. Come have a look at my modded one on the weekend if you like. Will try to do a pic later though.

As I use velcro to secure the body on my X-5 I cut the nose off the shell and stuck it on with servo tape. IMHO, that's better than weakening the strengthener!

Whilst you are right, it so dramatically beefs up the tower that even though it is weaker it's still very strong.

I cant see it making that much difference because there isnt that much stress on that part of the tower.
