You shouldn't need cross supports. My team made a very similar chassis with 1/16" wall 5052 aluminum on the sides and .08" on the front and back. It was very rigid before we added a belly pan. The belly pan is great for mounting electronics, and also serves to add structural rigidity.

I love this design. It looks great!
