Thanks for the advice, I'll implement as much as I can tomorrow. Extending the supports sounds like a good idea.

Yeah, I made that mistake my on my first drivetrain. I thought "Oh! Extra material! We don't need this since there are all these othe spacers!" turns out you actually do...
If possible down-gauge the 3/16 to 1/8. It's an instant 33% weight reduction. If you actually make this, DO NOT CUT LIGHTENING HOLES ON THE FIRST BUILD PLATE!!! It's rather difficult to mount a random plate for something if there's a big triangular hole right where you need to put a bolt. That was another mistake I made.
As for the wheels, I think they have to have some rock to turn in this configuration.
