Re: Yet another 6wd base (would like input please)

I see some similarities to the KOP chassis, looks proven.

You don't need a 1/4" plate and 1/8" polycarb is still pretty heavy, try some thin stuff with holes in it for zipties. The BG is distracting. The welds don't have to be perfect because those are dead axles as long as your wheel ends up perpendicular to the ground. The chain run concerns me because if you lose the long chain you're out the whole side. The tensioner should work fine.
