so..... i just found out the hard way the wooden coasters take way to maney peices to build.......

[Jonny]

Yeah, when I build woodies I use alot of Piece saving methods. It depends on how big the coaster is.

[2015ASM]

in my mind if you dont have alot of peices keep woodies under 6 granites. But if you do build a large woodie you can take a small sction of support out in the middle of the lift supports like in EL Toro at SFGA

ya i know mine is 7 granites tall and i'm having peice and spped issue i think i will need 1 or 2 more sets or just a lot of granite peices

should i take the peices out of the section between the lift hill and the double dip on rumbler?

[Jonny]

Well, I think that the coaster is very very unique. I just suggest that you use a piece saving technique if you want to finish and be AWESOMETASTCAL.

[commando]

cool then i guess i will. i have also started looking for more parts

Q: how maney granite rods come in one SS set?

[Jonny]

Cool! I'm not really sure. Maybe 50-100?

[commando]

90 per set i just found out. i plan i buying 400 or maby 600? i have 6 sets so that 90*6= 360 i have gone through. i still have the whole lift plus staion plus hills on the side of the lift. i think 400 should be more than enough. i t bacily took 360 to build the first drop. rising turn 2nd hill with the double dip and 2nd rising turn. something tells me i should do 600 just to be safe and for future projects. i would love to try and build the american eagle one day

[2015ASM]

sounds cool, i might look into getyting some more peices soon.

[RCExtreme]

^^90*6=540. That's a lot of granite rods for that amount of track.

[commando]

this i why i am gettin a C in math

so i just bought 400. worst cases is i just need to by more. it shoulb be enough since these next supports are low to the ground and all of the other where way up high

[Jonny]

I think that you should be good. So does anyone have an extra 5 car train I have?

[HamenChiz]

I have started building my coaster......



I think we should do some contests here in MCC

[2015ASM]

[HamenChiz]
