There's nothing complex about it. I'm kinda curious about what you mean. The drive itself is very simple direct drive and then the corners are dead axle chained to the direct driven wheels. If you mean the lightening pattern, then yes, I made it a bit too random. I will be changing it to be a bit more structurally sound.

I chose 4 nanos because it made for the shortest runs of chain. I've also been playing around with the versatility of the nano a lot lately. (We also have some laying around).

Total weight was 26lb. with everything and some parts being .125" along with .09" thick.

Oh and no the angle of the crossmembers was just aesthetics. They are also bent sheetmetal.
