Moshingkow is an unknown quantity at this point
The first day we finished our drivetrain, we had these problems. the motor mount closest to the end of the actual motor broke in 3 places (epoxy is currently drying on it). The rear of the motor has a plastic piece that holds the brushes in. one of them completely broke off, and we were holding it on with electrical tape. no good. it completely broke off. The motor is pretty much useless, unless we can find a way to keep the brushes secure.

I think we may try and machine a motor mount out of aluminum and reinforce the back of the motor with epoxy or polyester resin. theres really not much you can do for the rear of the motor.
