Hi!

This is my first coaster that I'm going to build and it'll be a recreation of Mini Racer. It'll have a triangular base, with supports like the ones on XenoX

The site I'm using for the supports and track - layout is Hinzen-Kermis.

Enough talked, pictures! :-)


Base

Track

Crest

The car I'm going to use on this coaster.

Comment!

That car is sick! And the coaster is too! I can't wait for the next update

[The Stig]

Agree, your car looks cool. Move on.

^&^^ Thanks!

Could somebody give me comments on my shaping, supports? I don't know if that's good now, so please comment1

It's mirrored? I recommend you not building it in a mirrored state so you can make the coaster more accurate, it's easier to build when the track is going in the same direction.

Supports are OK. I don't think it's a good idea to build the base first on this scale, you should really adapter it on the flow. The turns are so tight that the train will slow down tremendously. Make sure you have the track to go down at all times during the hairpin turns.

I just noticed you are already building supports for the track to go over while you aren't that far with the track yet. Again, recommend you not to do this as you will find out that it won't go over that exact location. Really, don't build a support yet until you need it.

Make the turns as wide as possible, you are going to lose a lot of speed on this scale.

Oh, yeah, make sure you don't ride this thing in real life, it's the ultimate pain-machine.

1. It isn't mirrored, my camera flips the pictures. strange...
2. I've builded supports forward, cause the supports are attached to the rest of the supports. However, this aren't the final ones.
3. Thanks, the turn is now on scale, maybe it'll become larger.
4. FUN!

Your base and supports look great! But it is not possible to use grey rods for the supports? That looks better. But It's no problem if you can't.
Go on with the good work!

Wow... for a first coaster, this is going to be great! I love the supports (as i did on XenoX) and the car, that looks great! Can't wait to see more from you man,

Very nice car there! I have two questions for you.
1) What is the point of those extra wheels on the car?
2) Is this going to be a racer as the name implies?

[tornado96]

Great job RNB! Too bad you didn't finish your recre of Joris en de draak.

This is looking great but do you think you'll have enough speed to get through all those turns? Also I believe that's our collab in the background isn't it?

1. Just theming.

2. You would have known if you read his posts more careful

OOPS! yes, it is.

Short update of the situation:
I just got the Hyperspace Trainingtower, so I'll build that first. After that I'll build again on my coaster.

[jespercoasters]

This looks so great. Really i love it until now hop you can get the car trough the tight wild mouse turn's.

[RNB]

^ Thanks! Does anybody know a good lube spray for me?

[-=TK=-]

pledge, it totally works, we use it always. It is not something like lube, but it cleans the track and cars, make the track smooth sticks on the track for like 4 weeks and if you look at project inverted, it first didn't make it over the overbanked turn thing, but in the final video it did make it with quite a lot of speed.

[Knexrule11]

I've never tried plege. I've used Lube and Silicone spray. Don't use lube, it eats the plastic, I use silicone spray right now, The problem with that is it makes hair stick. So I'd say silicone spray or plege.

Short update:

The supports are right now in the SSC colors. I've tried the first turn yet, but the train hits cross - ties. :-(.

I hope to post pictures soon.


BTW Who have made Mini Racer in the top post red? It looks better now :-)

[jespercoasters]

^Dammit i already fault it would do. I dont know wath you need to do.

[RNB]

Update!

I've changed the supports, and I've redone the turn a zillion times, and it still don't work
:-(. Please help!

Pictures:



Here'll be the DD sig on.



Could the staff tell me if that turn is good, or that I've to count another 2 yellow squares to my total?
