WARNING: the wooden frame above the cabin MUST be reinforced before fitting the mechanics, as the stock design will not take the force of lift-off, and immediately cracks (a lesson I learned the hard way). Adding a wooden reinforcement plate above the cabin roof (3-4 mm thick) spreads the load and resolves the issue. For my build, I wanted to use the 12S-rated Egodrift motor whereas the stock frame is for a 6S size motor. The 12S motor wider than the stock motor mount / frame allowed, and so I designed a replacement mount which was then custom made by pcbway.com (cost was $60), and reworked the frame to accommodate the wider motor. Overall, it worked perfectly, albeit with some engineering required.
