The DIYE motor mount has been hit or miss for some. For me, it’s been great. I’ve used it on 2 builds with out any issues. However, it has shifted slightly with some abuse and vibration. I’ve added some gaffer tape to the truck where the d clamp of the mount will sit. Now, it’s solid! Unfortunately, movement with any mount is inevitable and the very best way to avoid this would be to have the clamp welded to the truck.
I second the JLabs motor mounts. Solid!
If you are looking to spend a bit more cash the Ollin Board and FOCBOXs are of the highest quality currently. But if you want something between the Maytec and the pricey FOCBOX, I have found that Miami Electrics VESC work great even under high amps and heat. I’m not quite sure where the bones of ME’s VESCs come from (could be Maytech) but there is a fat ass heat sink right on top of the mosfets. I live in Vegas and in the summer it gets hot as shit which will effect the temperature of the VESC. In addition to that I have larger 97mm wheels, love going up hills hard, and have high amperage Lipos. All of these factors would have killed a Maytec VESC under hot conditions. But, I’ve gone a whole year with it never shutting down. LOL, sorry for the rant but for $110 I feel like the ME VESC is a total underdog.
The TB VESC is $99 collections/esc-speed-controller/products/torque-esc-vesc-bldc-electronic-speed-controller
If you buy the motor from @torqueboards you wont have to change the bullet connectors,
Look at this thread for a ton of info on Lipo’s, @Namasaki knows his stuff.

Is this topic still alive? If so, greetings everyone 
I’m total noob but quick learner looking for professional’s advices to build evolve GT AT looking, DIY. I read every single “read first” threads of this forum before posting the question, I got lots of insight, but not sure exactly how can I select parts of board at this beginner level, which components are compatible etc. Is this right address to look for help?

Hi. There are lots of threads titled “first build” the could be a good resource.
