Mecanum Drivetrain design HELP!! PLEASE

i have been frying my brain the past weak trying to design a frame to run mecanum wheels and banebot gearboxes with the long shafts. what would be best to use. 1x1 square aluminum. or is there something that works better. we have been considering using 20mm extruded aluminum too. any help would be great. the main thing thats killin me is how to mount the motors in a way that will conserve wait and be strong at the same time
