For us right now and our build space and tool availability, it is much easier for us to get parts fabricated by our sponsors, than to try to cut and work with box stock accurately enough to have even two identical modules. More so if we wanted cutouts for weight.

That doesn't mean we wouldn't consider boxier wheel assemblies for strength/stability, but to fabricate those ourselves right now is pretty much a non-starter.
