Here's my mount. I actually felt inspired today (thanks to your post), and banged it out in a couple hours of tinkering.

It's a piece of 1/8" aluminum angle stock, bought it from Lowe's a long time ago, 2 inches x 2 inches.

I just drilled a big hole in the center-ish, then took a motor mount from an E-Maxx, and drilled ONE hole at 6:00, and then at the 12:00 spot, I made a groove, to allow for adjustability of the motor, for pinion sizes. I clamped the e-maxx plate down and used my Dremel with 1/8" bit, and tried to not wreck the E-maxx plate too much. It ended up plenty good for what I needed, just isn't AS pretty as some.

I was going to do Lexan and all like I did with my brushless MGT convo, but this is simple enough and strong.

Drilled some holes to line up with the stock engine mount holes, and have some extra back and forth play there if needed.

3mm bolts with locknuts, and boom, instant motor mount.

I want to shorten up my wires on my Mamba Max 4600, but am waiting until I get a battery, so I can figure out final layouts, move everything, then make them as short as possible.

I could never charge anyone for something like this, I sorta wing it. There's plenty of football on tv on Sunday afternoons, so I bounce back and forth, or measure it up in front of the tv, so it doesn't really count as "time" that way. riiiiight. I used a Dremel, a cordless drill, a 1/8" drill bit, a piece of sandpaper, a sharpee, a square for measuring, and a set of digital calipers for fine tuning. Oh, and a dry-erase board for drawing up ideas.

Just sit and have a look at it, no metal shop needed, really.
