Just a little update:

I do relize that one side is a little sharper than the other, I'm working on that. So far it's working perfectly, the cars are crusing over the top of the new hill at just the right speed and the supports aren't shaking at all. By the way, Jumpge, I made it a little steeper for you, and thanks to ~stεεlspectrum~ for the name!

Waaay to sharp at the pullin of the second hill. Lower it a bit or make it more gradual and It'd be perfect (except for what you already pointed out) Keep it up!

[TheCodeMaster]

^ I agree just make it bigger!

[The Stig]

I made this for you today because your shaping is very, very close.



All you need to do is connect the dots.
Good luck, Dude.

[BubbleMan 32714]

Stig is right you are very close just connect the dots and your golden.

^I don't see any where except for the crest. And you guys are a little late, I'm already at the crest of the second hill, ready to upload.

[Jumpge]

Please upload them and FYI guys, he's having a speed problem and i hate them. I would say use pledge with extra moisturizer, lube, weight, and add more track to support connections. Hopefully this will help!

I've got a little update for you so you can see what Jumpge and I are talking about:

It's going to be kinda like Imtinamator's second hill. It's banks early but it's supposed to.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Will it make it over that hill? If so that's really good!

[RollerManiac]

^No, it doesn't. I need to do what Jumpge said to do. Then it should.

[Knexrule11]

As I told you in chat. Most things you put on your track will wreck it over time. I don't put anything on my track. Just use a wet rag. And wipe the track. And for lubing the cars. I learned that it makes hair stick to the axels, which makes it really really bad. I lube my cars, let them sit. Then rinse them with water. It gets the lube out, but helps the wheels. Also make sure theres no hair stuck in them already.

And if your cars weigh to much, they will flex the track. Which slows down the train. If the track flexs, support it more, or unweigh some of it.

On the coaster. It drops a little more then one granite rod from lift to hill. Which the a really good coaster would most likely not make. I would lower the hill.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

In that case, I'd do what KR11 said and lower the hill. You might also try washing the wheels in hot, slightly soapy water. It may or may not work for you, but it sure did for me!

I think that it looks good! Looks like the hill is going to turn some different way.

[RollerManiac]

I'm goon to listen to Jumpge, and if that doesn't work than I will lower he hill 1 gray/yellow rod. It makes it about 1 cemmeter from the top and it doesn't look pretty like that.

(DOUBLE POST!)

Ok, I've got a little update for you guys: (Only focus on the connectoins, not the heartlining.)





Is that enough for you Jumpge?

[BubbleMan 32714]

I'm guessing it's gonna go out the door way and then come back around with a u turn?

[RollerManiac]

^No, way more complicated than that.

I really like your shaping on the coaster! When you oil and weigh your cars it should make it will incredible speed! Are you going to make a 90* turn, hammerhead, and then a stegal dive?

No. Have any of you guys look under the first post and seen the layout yet?

[Jumpge]

You have proved you building skills with this so much! But hows the speed on the ride? Pledge works so much better with hypers that loopers so good luck! Great work so keep it up! Cant wait for the next update!
