chassis ideas swerve

I really liked how 1717 drove this year. So I am trying to improve on the chasis I saw this year with some guess work since i didn't get to really dive in and get to know it. pnuematic super shifter chain linked to drive shafts and window motor chain linked to drive collar. Electrical bay on the botom. 1/8 aluminum rivitied together. Assum the total chassis weight is 25lbs with rivits.

Is this about right?

Would you use banenot motors instead of window motors for steering?

Is the super shifter gear box over kill?

How much pushing power would this have?

How fast would this be with 2 or 4 cims?
