Don't sweat it The shell is surprisingly sturdy for something that on occasion smacks into the ground at 10-50+ mph. A lot of people have "miraculous" crashes that come tumbling down from great height but only bust a prop or two. But that's not the kind of thing you can really rely on. In any substantial crash, you could break props, shatter your gps antenna, break landing gear, bend gimbal mounts, tear off the battery door, and of course bend/crack the shell.
