This mod seriously strengthens the mount in this area. I bent a motor mount or so before going to this mod, but haven't had any trouble since doing it. The only caution I would put out there is to be careful with a motor with a 1/8" shaft. This mod could cause the pinion to be out near the end of the motor shaft(lots of leverage on the shaft), which could cause a bent or broken shaft. I have actually thought of making a custom motor mount piece to screw to the g-maxx upright, with a thicker than stock piece(yet, thinner than the double mount).
