The inner rails appear to be 8020 quick frame material. I would be careful with using the 8020 quick frame connectors when they are going to be subjected to allot of stress. This year our team may use the quick frame material however for stressed and load bearing connections The E-Z tube connectors are much better. They do not match the Quick frame tube dimensions but, a little filing takes care of that. They are available with and without internal steel welded reinforcement.

If the Quick Frame flange tube was used you would have a support for a board to lay in the center to add stiffness and mount stuff. How are you going to attach the quik frame to the c channel?

Few things:

Looks like a lot of stress to put on 2 "rails"... Have you checked to see how this set up will take the stress (seems like thin material to be using)

Also as for cantilevered wheels: i wouldn't do this. First off if they aren't very well protected it is easy to play defense on you (i.e. stopping you from driving around)

Also why not use all 6 traction wheels with the centered one lowered (similar to the kit chassis) as this will make sure you have full surface contact and will make it harder for a team to "spin" you around.
