"Too narrow" I guess is a relative term. It's somewhere between a box stock RC10 as it ran originally and a contemporary B4. I'm not trying to build a B4, so the width isn't that important to what I'm trying to accomplish. The rear track is very close to an original RC10, when you include the B4 wheel/offset.

Measured from the face of the drive pin wheel mounting area without wheels on, then measured from the center of the axle line with wheels installed, to remove rear toe-in from the measurement:

  • Stock RC10: 7.375" rear track width (9.000" with jellybean wheels/tires installed)
  • Modified RC10 with B4/B44 outer drivetrain: 8.000" rear track width (9.250" with B4 wheels/tires installed)
  • Stock B4: 8.313" rear track width (9.750" with b4 wheels/tires installed)
