Ive completed rest of the build + installation of electronics.
I will complete this E-conversion as a guide for those that dont want to chop up their frames (pictures will come later), But I dont like the battery placement, so I will go loose with the cutter.
Im planning on cutting in the following places, then replace the bottom section with a U-Profile out of aluminum, connecting frame and landinggear to each other, on that U (upside down U)
I will put a plate where I can place the batteries directly on, sliding them under the motor.
(Happens to be exactly how my E-stratus is designed by default)
where to cut: (if needed its easy to add frame stiffeners behind the back landing gear, and from behind motor down to front, not sure its needed since it should only support the load of the batteries, no vibrations..)

Benefits of doing that kind of battery mounting is,
Better protection in crashes + you can use "taped-together" packs, two 6s1p side by side, where you tape together and no risk of connecting wrong, forgetting to charge one etc.
