I am exploring the possibility of custom versablocks and if I did that I could size them such that I could get a gusset underneath

Compare these gussets to the length of the VersaChassis gussets. They aren't that different. I'm not saying you dont' need a belly pan or other cross support, but having to take apart your frame to change a belt (not that you should ever have to do that) is gonna be a nightmare.

Could you post a photo of the gearbox mounted to the 2x1 rail, without the direct-drive wheel?

Curious what the bearing situation is there, and if there are tips that may help with machining the rails w.r.t. the direct drive wheel's shaft alignment.
