Re: pic: WCD Summer Project

I would drop 2 of the CIMS and add that weight back in to the front/back rails and adding a bellypan. 6 CIMS will be a liability next year with the brownouts.

I get worried about taking so much weight out of frame rails like that, the weight savings are usually not great compared with the greatly increased risk of bending a frame rail.

Also, any reason you don't have your gearbox in 2 stages given that you are running 4in wheels?
