Also the cross-members can be replaced by a good belly-pan. Just make sure you support you transmissions and this looks like a great WCD.
Just a few questions...How are you going to tension the chains? and why did you choose the Toughbox Mini's?
Chain Tensioners: I will have to add that to my list of To Do`s

Toughbox mini`s: Inexpensive and gave the gear ratio i needed for a fast robot with 4in wheels.
