It looks like you can save quite a bit of weight and material if you move the 4 corner standoffs closer to the center and "round out" the corners. You can even just ditch the 4 corner standoffs and use the screws for the CIMs to hold the gearbox together, like the WCP DS does.
The standoffs were made as is to make removing cims easier.
As for the shaft, yes the output is too short, despite this being the "long" shaft vexpro sells. We would need to use a shaft coupler to make attach it to another thunderhex in order to use it in a chassis.
