what's up with the GorillaMaxx stuff?

The X-braces are the only real weak point on the G2/G3 design, so replacing them with a home-brew item wouldnt be that hard really, sort of thing you could do with a basic vertical mill and sliding table- look at what DeltaMaxx created.

I would be happy with a couple slabs of 5mm thick 6061 with holes in the right places to mount the skids, upper and lower plates and tranny- reduce the size of the gap under the tranny so it is less of a weak point. Truth be told, Im thinking of getting the Candyman to do just that, only with a ~2" extension towards the rear; must learn some basic CAD skills and I'll throw up a picture or two...
