The second time the side screw at the front motor mount came off, but this time it hit a square steel pole

Long story short, the only part that need replacing was the spur gear and the motor, as both the motor case and rotor have deformed.

But the car still good as new, chassis is still flat and no broken part, even the motor mount is still straight.

So now I have used slightly longer screws with thread lock.

Cheers
You can run really long screws from the inside of the spur bulkhead towards the edge of the chassis, then fasten it with small locknuts..... it won't come loose that way
