YES!
I really dislike how people drill their boards, think logically.
The stock boards aren't drilled, so when adding new power sources(5cell, lithium, etc..) why drill the board?
It shows lack of knowledge from Rob, costing lots of people useless EP(unless you trace where the power sources lead you can solder it to the trace).
If you do it right the first time, there is no need to solder from traces, or drilling your board.
A no drill harness might be in your best interest(take a tinned wire, solder it to a skinny metal rod, cut the rod to an inch, and heatshrink the solder joint of the wire to the rod so the two solder joints don't touch and short the batteries and board).
