My stretched Vector...project done

[vector_1]

Just wanted to report that I have recently finished my Vector 121" to 136" project. Here are the components used:

Hartman Inc. Tunnel extension
tracksusa rail extensions
Camoplast 136" ripsaw track fully clipped
Wahl Extrovert Drivers

Every thing checked out fine on the test run. Recorded 106 on the dream-o-meter on a snow packed road. This was the same as last year. Also, I went from 144 studs on the 121" >>>>to 108 on the 136". The 144 hooked up well, but I figure the more track on the ground will offset the fewer studs. We will see how it works out.

Can't wait to hear how it handles the bumps. I bet that longer track makes a huge difference. Good luck.
