Nice!

I have been curious about soft-mounted motors. It has seemed to me like you could easily introduce some unwanted vertical alignment problems (must be doable or not so many would be doing it). Do you set the screws to a specific torque or use some other "trick" to keep that from happening? Or does it just not matter?

what i did was use 6mm screws for the motors. i always used two screws to mount motors. so i figured a 4mm frame, 1mm thick soft mount, which leaves about 1mm for the motor. i used thread lock (loctite), and thightened the screws till i can about a thread or two coming through the bottom of the inside of the motors. you will be able to feel the soft mounts compress a little bit causing a little torque on the screws.
