The sides of the chassis are bent up and that helps with the flex. The motor mount plate will act as a chassis stiffener, effectively doubling the chassis thickness in the middle. I do not think I will have any problems. I have made top plates before, but that was a flat chassis vehicle that did have flex issues.
