I still think it's weird to spend all this time and effort on creating the M05 Pro V2, moving the motor in a few mm for better weight distribution and all that, and then say "well just stick the battery to the *top* side of the battery compartment with some tape and keep your fingers crossed you've put it up precisely balanced !".

You want the lipo as low as possible, secured tightly without any possibility of lateral movement, and easily swappable. This is the exact opposite.

To me it kind of feels like they were designing a wonderful car and at some point became tired and said "fork it, we'll do proper lipo placement in the M07 and M08"
