Like ClodMaxx, I would ensure the motor shaft has a flat spot. Without a flat spot, you are relying on simply grub screw friction. But if it does slip, it will heat up the screw pretty quick and loosen whatever locktite you put on it.

I actually use a flat spot on the motor shaft and blue locktite just to be sure. From experience, it sucks to hunt around for the pinion if it does happen to fall off.
