Ouch - feels like I am back in the days of my first BL conversion using "the man who's name we do not speak" FDM boat motor mounts. It works, but in the long run isn't the best way to mount the motor.
One thing I have learned over my few years on this site is that this type of mount is prone to alot of problems as the torque on the chassis will cause chassis bending which causes movement between the pinion and spur gears and leads to a lot of inefficiency and wear.
A mount that can maintain a nice consistent mesh between the pinion and spur will work best.
