Thanks Semi.

Not sure you're following my logic guys. With the batteries accessible from the bottom side there's no need for the body to be quickly removable.

Maybe 'exoskeleton' is a better word for what I want. The chassis itself needs no further bracing, or a cage, I'm only after component protection, and something to give it more shape. I have plenty of 1/8" lexan and can do it in sections, bent or flat.

I appreciate the suggestions nonetheless :)
