I will take into consideration the issue with bumpers flexing.

On a seperate note does anyone have any experience with UHMW wheels, specifically in a cantilevered scenario like this.

every ounce matters dude, ask us. we were 4 pounds underweight and we got to atlanta, over by .1 pounds. also what are the ratios for the gears you used to achieve your fps? stick with aluminum wheels or andy's new plaction wheels. if you have the time, do uhmw wheels for the pre season. one of our capitans made them when he went to college and said that they need tread on them and that they last for a long time. the wheels were used on a go-cart.
