Careful with the Rustler. It might rip the diffs, drive cups, or whatever else apart.
For motor mounts, the Tekno ones will require you to drill 4 holes to the bottom of the chassis. If you choose that, you can either use countersunk washers with flathead screws or countersink the chassis. I used countersunk washers on my DBX. Works great except they get pretty beat up if you run on concrete a lot and scrape the bottom of the chassis. On the track and dirt areas, no problem.
Another option that doesn't require drilling is to send your center diff assembly to Mike at RCM and have him make you a motor mount. Costs is the same as his other mounts, you just need to pay the additional cost of shipping your center diff assembly to him.

tahnx. i'm probably gonig to get somthing along the lines of the tekno mount. but i will check ace hardwear and c what that have that i can cut out somthing like an l bracket

The L bracket would be cheapest, but you still have to drill the chassis. The Tekno mount would be more secure since it completely envelopes the motor. Just countersink the holes. If not, use countersunk washers. The Tekno would be more secure than a RCM mount. I've bent my RCM mount before. No way the Tekno would bend.

Here is one I did a few years back. MGM comp esc, 8s motor on 12 cells. The truck flew. Until the 8S motor went poof!!

k. heres my latest idea i have to work around the fact that the wires are fairly short. maybe later on i can get some different style batteries that would be a perfect!! fit for the space in front of the motor

milenko_76- very clean truck. i would like to make some sort of hump pack for it

6 cells wont do it? u think it would be equal to a rustler with a 12t. speed wise. how would u connect them.
i'm just going to shape a simple L bracket

UPDATE! well, got the esc mounted 
next up. get the motor mount

Pick up a small 3s LiPo pack and it will fit pretty close to the space that you have available. The 6-NiMH isn't really enough voltage for that system. You're not running the motor anywhere near it's ideal operating range (rpm is too low). The motor is 2350kV and at 7.2V, it's only spinning 16.9k rpm. Ideally, it's between 30k and 40k rpm. It will still move, but it won't be as blazing fast as you may be expecting and definitely not as fast as it could be. But it's all about trial and error and experimenting...it's part of the fun when you make your own setups. On my DBX, I ran a 2400kV setup on 3s and it was decently fast. It would've run better on 4s. Still fun on 3s. Then I changed to a 3300kV setup on 3s and it's much faster now because it's powered more appropriately. Good luck and have fun. I'm sure the layout will change over time as you figure things out more.

exactly.. but do u think it would be equally fast to a rustler with a 12t

Probably. You'd just need to gear it for the speed you want. But with only 7.2V to work with, you can't gear it too tall for top speed. You'll learn the proper setup and limits as you go along.
