Looks pretty nice, but clean up the front/back axles in the cad. Either cantilevered live axle or dead axle will work, but decide on one pre-season.
Personally I recommend live axle, as it's easier to swap out wheels or gearboxes if something breaks.

Also, 12fps is too slow. Gear for around 15fps at least. We ran around 16.5fps at CalGames on 4 cims with no problems; we were running 12fps during the first half of the season, and the extra speed was very exciting.
