Our latest iteration is now lower to the ground with the drive bearings flipped over, which you can see here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/img...a3f60049_l.jpg. There are two bolts through the bottom of the housing and we are also supporting the drive shaft on the outside with a bearing. We gave the drivebase a good workout on carpet on Sat 1/12 and even fully loaded to 145 lbs (simulating final weight with battery and bumpers) everything stayed tight and aligned.
