Do the V5 linear sliders work with the VEXIQ rack gears

[Foster]

Do the sliders in this V5 linear motion kit Linear Motion Kit v2 - VEX Robotics

work with the VEXIQ rack gears Gear Add-On Kit - VEX Robotics

Yes, I know the V5 parts are not legal in VIQ and the other way around. Just want to know if they fit for a project I’m doing.

Wow, sorry no one has responded to you.
Apparently the CAD files for the IQ rack gears aren’t working, but in the meantime I can give you some dimensions for the V5 sliders (so you can measure your IQ rack gears):

Apparently the CAD files for the IQ rack gears

Edit: on the product page for the VEXIQ Rack gears there is no tab for CAD files

and the CAD files linked in the Docs & Downloads take me to an “Oops Page Not Found” error message

Just wondering, could someone fix this? Thanks! (Also sorry for hijacking this thread)

I can try and see whether they fit later today, but my intuition is that it won’t. If I remember correctly, the V5 sliders is at a wider width so they wouldn’t be compatible (I think?)

Thanks for the picture. Is that the red plastic slider?

Thank you to @DRow for fixing the link, I got the CAD files…
But it doesn’t look good

The IQ rack gears seem to not fit with the V5 red sliders nor the metal channel. Sorry…

Thanks for all the extra work, I appreciate it. It was always a reach.
