RX-1 121 to 136 Conversion snag

[truth2ak]

I have ran into a snag

first of all I did not find out about the complete kit manufacturers like Hartman unti after I had already began my project so I purchased it piece by piece.

First a tunnel, then a track, then the rail extensions, then a new 136 hyfax.

Now here are the problems that have arisen.

The guy sold me the wrong tunnel it is for like a 151. What is the worst thing that can happen if I keep the same tunnel as the 121 it barely covers the new 136 but it does cover it. with plenty of clearence.

The other is Hartmans rail extension does not include a hyfax extension. Is that a problem? The Hyfax are about 18 inches too long for the rail.

You'll crash into the tunnel in the back when the suspension compresses. It may look okay now, but if you run the skid through it's cycle, you'll see it will hit. Especially on tail landings. I think there was someone looking to buy a 151 extension, sell the one you have and get the correct extension. 151 with a 136" track may look a bit funny.

Here's the add:

As for the hyfax issue. I don't see it being a problem, but there may be something I don't know. I have never ran an extension that didn't use the hyfax as well.

I had ran the hartman extension with out the hyfax extended,zero problems.You will need to cut the hyfax down so that its just a little longer than your rails.Just copy the stock ones should work fine.

When you cut your hyfax down to the stock length do you have to taper the end?
