The basics of the new design are done so I thought I'd post a picture of it to get some feedback, any comments, questions, or criticism are welcome! This is just the basic outline of it, I will be scrapping weight off and have to add holes and mounts and such, but you can get an idea of where I'm going with this.

Way cool. Don't you think the motor shaft is too close to the bearing holes for the CD? Or are you running a tiny spur?

It's looking great!

The width between the TVPs, does that correlate to the bulkheads? Looks a bit narrow to match the stock chassis width.

I'm interested in seeing bulkhead mounting holes put on the skids

Thanks! And yeah they are about 10 mm narrower than the bulkhead's width, but I designed little brackets to narrow it down, they are shown on the first pic, but I had them hidden on the second one on accident. I may beef them up a little bit but I think they'll do.

They are 5mm thick where they mount to the bulks and then they extend to 10.25mm where they mount to the TVPs.
