Think it's fairly safe myself, the plastic around it is pretty substantial and it's tucked behind the battery and the front wheel...anyhow, time will tell. It was either 10 mins of work with an offcut that was lying around or quite a bit more time to attach it to the motor screws...I opted for easy

And for the Mini Enduro nuts out there, here's my M05 with 6000Mah saddle packs Imagine how many laps you could cut with that! Don't know it would be approved for any events though...
