Re: 2583 Off-Season Drivetrain Help

It looks like you are going with a live axle system to transfer the power, however i do not see bearing in the aluminum extrusion. If you do not put bearings the abrasion of the shaft rubbing on the profile of the hole will damage both the metal and the shaft.
Also in a live axle system you will need hubs on/in the wheels rather then the bearings (i think) you have currently.
Also you may want to add another corner gusset on top.

Excellent first CAD, i look forward to seeing great things in the future!
