As for the driveline, what do the chain runs look like, how are they tensioned?
It's 1/8 in wall thickness, all rectangular extrusion, and it's welded together. (is C channel stong enough to replace some of it with.) My idea for the chain run was to have one chain around the rear and middle wheels and the gearbox sprocket on the inside of the wheels. With another chain going up to the front from the middle wheel on the outside. Not sure how its tensioned jet.
