K, well i am still waiting for some more parts from Mike, like gmaxx skids and extended center cvd's. Then i can get the exact dimensions of the 'upper connecting plates' where the chassis brace connects to top of bulkheads; and the center cvd's to get a good length for center spur shaft...

Just a note, the motor mount/spur mount will reinforce the braces, and add rigidity laterally. I will also be using 4 screws to mount 7XL, the new 540C versions have two screw right close to each other, so i thought i would use both...

You are so right, it's all about feeling, I see the 'forces' and 'stresses' in my mind and just imagine them traveling down the material. Math is useful, but limited.

Unless anyone has the exact measurements, and angles of the screw centers from the chassis brace screws to the top bulkhead screw centers? by any chance? :032: Otherwise I have to wait for the skids, about end of the week...

I know as a fact that you can't really see what it will look like, i will post a better pic of it soon. an actual drawing...
