08 and 09.



Yep, the speed controllers are there for demo.



Yep, the centers for the 8wd drive are dropped and the 6wd also. I'll take a look at Solidworks today and see where it says the center is.

I'd split the frame into two configurations; 8WD and 6WD. For season you will make a decision of whether you need 6WD or 8WD, and then it would only take 5 minutes of CAD work to select one. I think having both machined in is a little bit silly, you're adding machine time, weakening the frame rail, and making it a bit uglier. Minor concerns to many, but a bigger deal to others.
