I quite like your modeling work, keep practicing! My suggestions for the design:
-You probably don't need the superstructure.
-Have you taken into account materials? Depending on what thicknesses and alloys you're planning on using, you might be able to save some weight here and there.
-How thick is your belly pan? It seems rather thick. You should be able to go pretty thin, ie .090 or .040 while still maintaining plenty of strength if you're securing it in place correctly.
-"Secret CAM system", huh? Now I'm curious!

Thanks for the the info! Well the upper-structure is 1/16in. The belly pan could be lighter, but right now it only weighs about 2lbs so if less weight is needed i will change it.

The secret CAM system does not necessarily lie in the blocks or the actual cam, it lies within the method in which the CAMS are turned... Think about it
