Well, it's up to you, if it works as it is and the glue holds, save the screws idea till the time it lets you down. Also I was thinking that the large angle could be in the way.

No it is a good idea. The large angle is not in the way, the turret can rotate freely. Sheer luck cause as a beginner did not think about that.

Plastic hulls always benefit from extra strength, however it is done.

But you have used u shape instead of maybe L shape.maybe you can put a brace in front of the motor from the stuff you are using.
If the hull does not flex in your hands then you have achieved.

Yes I would like to do to so but it was not possible. There is no room for reinforcement in the gearbox department on the hull sides, see picture.

A brace in front of the motor was not possible since then I will not have enough space to take the gearboxes out if needed.

Putting force on the hull sides with my hands it now feels quite a but more stiff so I hope it is OK for the moment. I can always fit some screws through the u and L shaped balks if needed later.

Thanks for your comment!
