Re: pic: 1683 Concept 8 Wheel Drive

You might want to consider making the drivetrain side plates taller, so they extend past the top of the wheels, then it would be a bit easier to mount the front and rear end pieces up high enough that they are in the bumper zone (over 2.5" off the floor). Although with the small diameter wheels, this might not work too well.

Using 6" wheels, axle near the bottom of the side plates, and 4" tall side plates, seems to work out well for using bumpers, also it keeps the wheels from being in the way of whatever gets mounted to the top of the chassis.
