Are they hardened? And is the gear's thickness drawn to scale? They seem rather undersized for a final drivetrain stage. I wouldn't proceed with those particular gears unless you've calculated the gear strength to verify the design—they're just too unlikely to be adequate.

Also, you didn't mean to include a differential, right? (I seem to recall a team having a design similar to this, but with differentials on all wheel pairs. Might have been 1140 around 2005.)
