If you have ruled out building a traditional West Coast frame, what led you to your decision? I know that Adam Heard is hard to argue with when it comes to the benefits of the frame, haha.
I see a few very good reasons for the upper frame... protection of electronics... very nice handles to lift from and also with it being 1/16 wall its light as can be... nice mounting area for arms or what ever is needed...

and Also I think it is westcoast sorta... Because the outside walls on the bottom seem to be 1/16 and the inside seem to be 1/8 thus the main support is coming from the inside rail and not the outside... or at least thats what it looks like... Rc correct me if I am wrong

and RC what's the weight on it as well as why do all wheels have to sprockets?... getting lazy?

Just out of curiosity, what is the purpose of the third motors on the gearboxes?

My bet is added power... I remember there being something on here about it... I am going to see if I can find it
