Some have used emaxx motor plates like that... that was my first one too. IMO it will be ok... there will be more flex that with a thicker one... but guys do run big motors on emaxxes all the time. But most of us here like to build things pretty tough... overkill is good type of thing. I would recomend you make a bracket/brace for the rear of the motor... even if it's just a simple piece of L angle bolted to the chassis snug up to the back of the motor.
