You can still use 4 modules on a hexagonal chassis I think.

A note about the swerve modules you have setup: I highly recommend using the swerve design from team 221 if you go coaxial. Basically, they sell a really nice looking coaxial that is already optimized for weight. Download the CAD and use those ideas in making your own coaxial swerve.
Mainly I suggest this because it's already super light and they have very nice looking plates that you can emulate. Do you have access to a CNC?
Thanks. I'll add the omni wheels shortly and post a revised drawing.

As for 4 modules, the reason I'm not using 4 is so that I can have 2 cims powering each wheel setup.
