148's drivetrain "nonadrive" is the base for this design, and they were pretty successful with using the traction and omni. Yes it can be simplified and it will be simplified but its more fun on cad to design it from scratch when you have the time, and gives good practice instead of just dropping in a STEP. file. Your advice on simplicity is appreciated, the design has been improved to allow much easier access to the modules. Since before the transmissions were IN the switching modules and that would have put a lot of stress on the metal frame of the modules.
