After viewing Legoguy's Wingrider tutorial, I was inspired by the cars and decided to try my hand at making some cars myself and got a pretty good outcome from it. I really tried to go all out on realism, and that seemed to work by looking at the actual car's body and trying to duplicate it in K'nex parts.

Tutorial-
Start by making two of these.



And then make this section-



Next, attach the three sections together to form this-



And attach it to the car like this-



Lastly, slide the two 45º clips into the car's seats to make this. It should make the seats not slide at all, and reduce all moment on the rods so that the train's look isn't affected when in motion.



Final product-



For the back and front cars, use the same method shown in the tutorial. There is no difference between the front, middle, or back cars.

When using the cars on a ride, make sure that there is enough room between the track and supports so that the car's extension in the sides won't hit supports and cause the cars to break.

And there you have it! Your B&M Wingrider cars!

I like both designs a lot.
