I don't have much luck with tapping threads into aluminum for some reason. Plus, being only 3.5mm 6061, I'm concerned about the threads holding up. At any rate, I don't want to rebuild the mount simply to have tapped holes. :) The top of the motor doesn't even go as high as the top of the diff mount so it shouldn't be too bad. If anything, I'm more worried about my batteries because they are going to have to sit in there edgewise to fit, which will make them quite tall...
