Yup it's solid, it's the same design on the motor side. I don't think so. I've been to 3 different tracks and my gear mesh is still perfect. The dual clamping design of the motor mount works awesome.

I'd probably play it safe and keep it one solid piece for durability instead of the trade off for a bit more convenience, but it is definitely a cool looking piece and probably works great...
It's available for $66 and it will save more than 2 minutes. The motor mount will never move and the other side is where the weight is. The center diff weighs very little and rides on bearings obviously, so there's not much stress going on there to introduce a failure point.
