^Its better, but it's still not making it. I'm doing homework now so no chating. I was going to but I can't. I'll tell you later the full report.

[RollerManiac]

(DOUBLE POST!)

Heres a very small udate: (I do realize that the track is a little straght.)

[Jumpge]

WOW! Impressive what some supports can do right! But seriously, IDK but i think that the last part of the track is straight. But otherwise, looking good!

[the_burrito_master]

You have a nice big open basement :sdd

I see one lil problem on the 7th crosstie from the end, there's a dip raise that up to make a constant crest shape.

Other than that you're golden.

[RollerManiac]

^7 is so an unlucky number. Also, KR11 won the poll so I'm doing it that way. If it doesn't work than I'll do it the other way.

[2015ASM]

looks pretty nice RK500

[RollerManiac]

Ok, people stop voting! It's over and KR11, you can't vote for yourself. It doesn't count.

[TheSUCKCrew]

lol, not being able to vote for your own idea, when there are 2 ideas in the poll?
That sounds pretty unfair...

[RollerManiac]

Sorry about the wait guys bit this should pump you back up:

Station to lift turn.^

Close up of it.^

Funny hill I promissed.^
By the way, if your wondring how I got that space between the hill and door well, let's just put it this way, I turned it.

Well, I have to say that you supported the coaster very well and shaped the coaster very well!

[yannou29heelyskne(x)]

Nice ! Good job

[SuperTKDKid]

this is pretty good, but i dont like the shaping, i dont think it is right

[Jumpge]

I honestly think it looks really nice! Please give us some other angles though. It would help with the shaping of it and point out any sharp spots. But again, looks great!

[RollerManiac]

Ok, here's a little vebular update:

I have recently cleaned, lubed, and wieghted my front car but now it stalls at the crest of the hill! I'm working on weighting my others, but do you guys have any other suggestions? I wiped down my track just in case lube got on the, but that didn't help. Please help! Comment fast, be harsh!

[Sniggeh]

Umm.. Faster lift? I really don't know how else to keep speed if you've done all the right techniques. Did you rub down the wheels as well as the track to remove excess lube? Is it supported enought? Shaky? That's all I can really say at this point. Good luck.

[RollerManiac]

^Yes, I'm working on supporting.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Sometimes it takes a little while for the lube to "kick in".

[Blackkitty]

Maybe add some laterals or just lower the hill a little.

[Spitfire]

I'll admit, I'm a big fan of your supports. They're superb, man! Very nice job. From what I can see so far, a typical B&M Hyper here. needless to say, a bit cliché (means it's overused), but that's alright, you're pulling it off well, and it's good experience. Keep it up!

[RollerManiac]

Ok, finally after 1 day and a tornado (that was only like 3-5miles from my house) I finally give you the update I promissed:

Ignore the sharp and straight spots, I've got that. And as for the weighting: I've have weighted my second car and it works now. I'm going to finish weighting all of my cars so it will go fast.
