On-road guys have done similar changes.
You could try narrow blocks with SC-R 3 line axles and shim 1mm to the inside to be equal to wide blocks. Use 1.5mm inside for for a little less rotation or stock axles for max rear grip. I found that 2mm inside on SC-R axles makes the axles rub on the outdrive at full compression. Just another tuning option.
This is good true advice. A set of 5x7x1mm Aluminum Collars(W0149GM) and the 3 line axles (UM510-02) is what you will need to space the hexs out 1mm each side when using the narrow rear RF blocks.
