yeah 8 feet would be fine, but 10 gives you enough speed for future builds, I am thinking longer rails and things like rainbow or s rails.
Also I just realized that the main tower is off on measurements, it's 2.5 feet across not 5, looking at my redesign 4-5 feet should be structurally sound. I have mine at 8 feet by 4 and with the ramp attached it doesn't move.
