I am getting ready to convert my RX-1 121' to a 136" track.
I have purchased the tunnel, rail extensions, track, and hyfax. So aside from all this is there anything that I should know that may be a snag. Or any advise anyone could give me that has done one.
Or is there anyone out there that has how to instructions?
I really need help.

stretching
It is an easy install. I did my 05 with a Hartman tunnel extension and Tracks USA rails. What year is your sled? The instructions provided were pretty easy to follow, just take your time and you will be very satisfied with the end result. The chain case is the place where you need to pay attention the most, watch the order you take everything out and keep it organized on your bench, schematics from the parts finder or service manual help here. Depending on your mileage you may want to change out your bearings now, I made the mistake of not doing so and paid for for it a month later. Also be careful when cutting the plastic cover which goes over the coolant hoses, you get one shot and you don't want to make a mess. You can do a search and find pretty much any info you need in regards to changing your suspension in and out and chaincase removal. Good luck.

I've just started looking into stretching my track as well...you could also look into changing the gearing for the benefit of a better holeshot, or top speed.
