Need help making a motor mount..

[brushlessboy16]

Hello all,
Im trying to make a new motor mount for my Cen matrix tr, Im getting way too much flex from my Al Angle mount. The problem is that as the motor spins, the pinion rides up on the spur, forcing the mount to bend... its eating my pinion right now.. I think my only option is to build a mount off the center diff. I just got 3 feet 1/8th x 2in flatstock from Eovnu87435ds so i have plenty to work with.

is 1/8th thickness too little for a motor mount?

and does anyone have pictures of there home made motor mounts?

Thanks, Ben
