Two new track spines for you to try!

Stig's B&M Track Spine
For B&M Inverted spine, look at pictures upside-down.

The connectors must be on this side of the track. This is important!

Warning! If you put all 4 spacers in the same spot as shown above, then your track will sag as shown above. Please stagger your spacers.

EPIC STIG!!!!

Although I highly doubt VV woodies are a good idea! :P
I like the B&M track spine but ity'll use a LOT of yellow connectors. I'll have to try them out sometime!

Does anyone now how to make a vv launch without the launch system being so obvious and not using a whole ton of pieces? Greatly appreciate it.

I've built a Jesper launch, changed around gears and chain, and for about 1000 pieces (and then about 400 chain) you've got a great launch with no motors.

I'll post some pics later.

I've found a lube that works great on VV cars.
Hillman Powdered Graphite.
You can pick up a tube of the stuff for $3 at WalMart next to where they make keys.

Just be sure to lube your cars outside or over a sink or something because the graphite will go everywhere.

Enjoy your faster cars :D
