Why the 4 independent gear boxes?
The only way I could see using 4 separate gearboxes (assuming you want all those motors) is if they were fully COTS. If you are making your own plates you might as well optimize it.

Also, if that frame outside the wheels is not supporting the axles you could replace it with standoffs between the wheels (to comply with bumper rules) and move the drive rails out almost an inch on each side.
