You could try JB weld on whatever is left of your endcap threads and use the motor clamp along with a spacer of some kind to prevent shorting. Maybe replace the aluminum clamping bar with some 1/4" polycarbonate and also use a zip-tie around the circumference of the motor/motor clamp.
Have you thought about ordering a new endcap direct from LMT? I think they call them "front bearing shields" on the website.

Sorry, if I buy one its going into something of mine. I have been thinking about a water cooled system on an E-Revo. Thinking is the key. I have used JB weld for stuff before. Thats a last ditch option. It gets everywhere. Or maybe thats becuase of my fat fingers.
You did bring up a good idea. Using the heat sink as a stabilizer in some way. Maybe turning it over. It should help hold the motor better upside down. I might have to design a heat sink that utilizes that concept. I liked the idea of Mike’s Lehner end cap cover. Maybe I can build a cover like Mikes but add a heat sink running on the top and the bottom. Then I could get the best of all the components and support the motor at the same time. This is becoming more of a project then I was intending.
I thought about going directly to LMT but I did that before. When I was looking for a motor I contacted them. They want to do business but through western union. I would not have any guarantee. Plus shipping for one would cost more than the cap. (I think that is)
