Re: pic: Sheetmetal 8wd

It seems to me that you could easily cut the height in half and save a bunch of weight that way. Also you need to think about some type of belly pan both to mount electronics and to greatly increase the strength of the whole assembly.

Also the cutout in the middle could be decreased a bunch. It looks to me like the limit to ground clearance will be the area between the middle and outer wheels and not the area between the middle wheels. There no need in having the middle have way more clearance. It just weakens things and makes it more difficult to run chains, plus raises the area where you can mount electronics, thus raising the center of gravity of the whole thing.
