I was playing around last night and I think I'm going to try running B4 inline steering parts. It will give me the 11" wheelbase that I want with the rear hubs in the middle position. The problem may be the wheel offset. I may have to use the RC10GT wide axles. Since they are inline axles they only make up for the wheel offset so they don't change the geometry at all. I'd then use B4 front wheels. I actually have this same setup on a couple of vintage cars. I'm going to give it a go and we'll see what happens.

I put shouldered bolts into the XX4 wishbones instead of the crap standard kingpins. Haven't broken a wishbone since - about 2 years of racing both classes every week and twice a week over the winter.
You can cut down B4.1 gearbox shoulder bolts to do this.
