This is a question that comes up now and then. I was given a RTR model that had that. A setup like that requires everything to be precise. Even if one replaces the motor it is very hard to get that perfect alignment. To pad or shock mount or shim the motor might help.
But back to replacing the motor, which is not uncommon, would a time consuming process.

Has anyone tried running a boat by using a solid connection between the motor and the shaft and using an anti torque rotation arrangement to stop the motor from turning.
This would simplify the installation and eliminate shaft alignment issues. Modern brushless motors are light and compact, a 4mm or greater shaft should easily hold the weight. Anti rotation could just be rubber on low power motors with something more complex as power increases. ( perhaps the shock absorbers used in 1/10 scale off road cars)
Please advise if you have tried this.
