Shoe goo would probably work too. Hotglue sticks well, but it pretty easy to remove though if you change your mind, and it trims easily with an x-acto blade to clean up bulges and stuff.

Update:

I created a makeshift motor mount out of some 5mm thick angle 6061 aluminum and used an EMaxx motor plate as a template for the gear meshing scheme. I can tell you that it was quite difficult using just a drill and files! I really wish I had access to a CNC mill! Anyway, it works great even though it isn't pretty. I will still probably have one machined, but this one works for now. The only flex I see is in the chassis itself. I had to mod the RCM heatsink though because of the handle/rollbar.

So, I mounted the motor and got a little anxious, so I strapped in 14 cells and took it for a little test drive. The Quark controller is VERY nice. Cogging is all but non-existent with only a hint of it at very low speeds, like under 1mph. And, it stayed cool throughout the whole run.

I'll post a couple more pictures sometime...
