How did you do your axles

I was wondering how everyone mounted their axles and how they dropped down low to decrease their center of gravity.

At first we cut out brackets using our new plasma cutter but we had to bend them to mount onto the chassis. The problem was they were not being bent at the same place on each one and the axles were going way crooked. So I made these axle brackets that bolted right onto the kit chassis. It dropped our ground clearance down to a fourth of an inch. I made the holes that the axles went through into slots for a chain tensioner. I drew it out on CAD then milled it out of 1/4 of an inch aluminum on our CNC Machine.

Here they are. They are just beautiful.
