Im not saying your truss wont help ever so slightly but one of this design is meant for link tabs...not strength. It certainly wont do squat for rotational force between the axle tubes and center section.

Yeah never said it would stop axle twist but for hard jumping it should stiffen it up from bending. I'm welding the axle tubes to pot with some nirod. I'll use some pre heat on entire pot. For post heat I may just wrap with a fire blanket to slow cool.
