Velcro to attach the battery, esc etc. And zip ties of many different sizes(these are indispensable.

It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law.

You can also consider wood or carbon spur, 5 Min Epoxy, some colored Tapes, Sand Papers, Favicol Decoration Glue, Glass Fibre tape or simple transperent tapes to secure edges of foam etc.
