This feedback is greatly appreciated!

First of all, the design has 4 inch wheels, so take advantage of it and give yourself some stability. Don't design a drivetrain for 8 inch wheels if you're using 4 inch wheels.
Also, even the 8 inch wheels could probably move outwards at least an inch.
On another note, make sure you don't block the fans on those Victors. I've never seen one catch fire, but I'm sure if they're too close there's a good chance of it happening.
Last thing: Is the frame 1/16" aluminum and do you plan to weld or use bolts and brackets?
