162" track with 159" rails

[vinpie1]

I have a 03.5 159" mc900 and a spare 162" attack 20 track. Has anyone just swapped them out and taken up the slack with the adjusters. It looks pretty close. If I just need to buy a 3.0" pitch drive shaft, I will do the swap. I searched and searched before I asked... Thanks in advance!

I think a set of 8 inch wheels and your done. I tried to go from a 144 to 151 (7)
with a 8 inch rear and 10 tooth driver (8 in) and there was not enough adjustment to make it work I had to slide the suspension back. I think you have 3 and 1/2 of adjustment so if that track stretches a little you will not have enough.

I'm runnin a 153" track on 151" rails...no issue whatsoever. I have some adjustment left if the track stretches. I think you could definitely make it work...worst case (best case really..lol), you have to buy a big wheel kit
