By thickness, I refer to the height of the chassis. From what I see in the render, the top of your wheels are under the top of the brackets that make up the chassis. My worry is that when it comes time to fix something with the drivetrain (if it happens), you'll have to reach down between those brackets, which may be a hassle to do, especially because you'll have the rest of the robot on top.
