No you are not missing anything. The past two years we have done a Kit Frame, 6WD-no center drop-traction on back, traction on center and Omni's in front.
This past year we used VEX Traction and Vex OMNI's.

Ended up milling new holes, pretty sure we did all of them.
We bolted two rails together and milled them as a set.
After doing a set for a practice drive train, the competition set came out pretty good.
