No, the belly pan is not needed for strength at all. We just use it to mount all of the electronics to. Everything is directly threaded to the lexan making it very easy to remove components.

We used 1/4 inch lexan with 4 10/32 screws on each side threaded directly to the frame rails. I am thinking that the side with the battery might be be quite strong enough but we will see after some demos.
