wow, looks really small and good. By the looks of it, it could be entered into the winter contest.

It looks good, but I think you should make it about 1 red rod taller to be able to make a good inversion.

Is that the ATV off of knex innovation?

scott, check the thread for it, but i think its not until March, which is why i actually might enter it, but im having problems with my coaster. I actually say to make it a bit taller, maybe another red tall, but dont forget, if you do enter it, its being judged/ruled out to 100yellow boxes as the area of layout, including station.

It seems to immediately go into a steep dive, and the pullout begins way after the place it should. You must be paying close attention to the crosstie rule! LOL

Yeah, dragonz45 is right. Also, that support in the middle of the drop needs to be a tube, it looks really weak right now.

Finally! somebody doesn't call me "^" THANK YOU RCExtreme!!!!:D And I was about to post about that, but thought, hmm, how many cars and peices does he have? If you can, make it a tube. If not try to add a bit more support than that.

There's a sharp spot at the gears and the pullout starts too late.

Well, the pullout at the moment starts just below the gears, so I think the problem is that the pullout is just too big for the size of the ride. I think you should fix the sharp spot, then start the pullout about half way down and make the pullout smaller.

I'm not sure how long the track will be, But its gonna be decent sized if I get another ss if not it wont have to much.

Yeah, dragonz45 is right. Also, that support in the middle of the drop needs to be a tube, it looks really weak right now.


Fixed.

Well i havent been paying much atten to that X-tie rule because its the way I work i make the track and if it needs more to make it stronger I add more.

************UPDATE************
Well I added some more to it and, I think I have a EXCELLENT tube support!:)

Make that pullout and in bigger,allong with the overbank.
You may think you're out of space but your base is only 14x4 you can make it 20x5 and have plenty of room.
