You could try gluing small CF rod down the side of the frame to help stiffen it.

I noticed increased strength and less flexing after installing a 28mm diameter brushless motor. The larger diameter and machined end bell seems to improve the overall strength of the motor mount. However, this is probably still a "weak link" in the frame design when it comes to crashing.
