I think that the easiest way to motorize a plastic model is to build a 
wooden undercarriage using the plastic model as a template and than 
mount the plastic body on top.  That gives the resulting vehicle more 
strength and makes it easier to mount the motors and batteries.

Take a look at:

and
        http://www.rctankcombat.com/support-vehicles/SV002/

for examples of how to merge a plastic model, wooden chassis and used 
parts from monster trucks to make a support vehicle.
