Also, how did you lower the center motor/wheel?

I am very interested in making this on my own!
If you're using the long angle rails in the starter kit for your frame, the holes are elongated just enough to give you about 1/8" offset if you keep the outer wheels tight to the top of the slot and keep the center drive tight to the bottom of the slots. If you want more offset use a combination of flat bearings and the "pillow block" style block bearing.
