Sounds plenty strong. Mine are bolted onto 3/4" plywood, but they are also
braced from the front so they don't torque the base much. The braces also
allow me to adjust the tension on the M01 drive chain. My opinion is that
this adjustment is essential. Whatever mounting you choose, make sure you
can tighten or loosen the drive chain.

Subject: [TANKS] M01 Engine mounting strength
Howdy,
I have been thinking about the base plate for my tank, which the
motors will be mounted to.
I have read others using M01's have built engine mountings which have
ended up being broken by the power of the M01.
I was thinking of using a bolted sandwich of 12mm ply inbetween two
sheets of 3mm aluminium, do the learned and wise think this will be
strong enough? (assume the motors are mounted securely to the base)
Cheers
Ben
