Hot bodies 1/8 diffs

I test fitted the motor ,and the position that I have the slipper will not allow me to mount the ESC in the original spot. I will not be able to bolt it down. How important is it to screw it to the chassis? I'm using the MMM 1515y and ESC out of my 3908 Emaxx. It seems that the double sided stick tape did most of the work. What I think I will do is make a mounting plate for the ESC out of an old aluminum skid plate so i can drill and thread the holes exactly where they need to be. Or is this more trouble than it's worth?
