I've never had problems with the motors on my mount. I am well aware that the motor holders are threaded into plastic. They're just meant to hold the motors. They don't need to be tight. The meshing on the cog is wide enough to transmit the torque. There is no axial push that would cause the motor to pull out. I don't think balance is an issue either. Over tightening steel screws in plastic thread is.
