Have you taken a look at the kitbot on steroids presentation by 1114? You can do a lot with the standard kitbot drivetrain without having to go with a complete new setup. However, if you are looking to move to a new system, look into contacting a local veteran team as EricH has suggested.

There are some off-the-shelf chassis systems with both live and dead axles....Perhaps these will help you understand how to best design your own chassis.
