My robots all use cable ties without any problems.
It's quick to do as well lol stuff the motor roughly where you want it, drill four small holes and voila! Obviously this then gives an inaccurate finish. To counter this bung some sticky Velcro on the bottom of the mount to hold it where you want and then use cable ties to take the weight. This is obviously a bit simple, but it's worked for every beetle battle I've been in so far. Wheels and gearboxes have taken direct hits from spinners and still not broken.
Can get some pictures if it helps. Mounting them properly is better if you can be accurate, but I'm not so just come up with other easy ways. In a similar way use jubilee clips for drill motors in feathers.
