only issue i see is with he suspension geometry. since the top arms are longer thant he bottom arms, as the suspension compresses, you will get positive degree camber, which is detrimental to cornering/handling. you want to look for negative camber, which allows you to retain contact patch during cornering. if you want the correct dynamic geometry, you'll want to shorten those suspension arms till they are shorter than the lower arms. move the arm pivots outwards until the total swing radius is smaller than that of the lower arms. then your suspension geometry will be all good.

besides that, great machine work there. i like the chassis, and would like to inquire about possibly producing a custom chassis that fits standard length xmods?
