Thanks!
Because this model was designed almost entirely from scratch, it took good 6-ish hours of CADing to get to the point shown in the picture. When I get a chance, I'll do some other versions of this design, and those designs shouldn't take as long as this one did.
It also helps that I have some experience designing swerves, and drive trains in general.
