After tear down Mini Racer, I'm building an inverted coaster in the style Vekoma. I've made a new car design, that is also in vekoma style.

The pictures:

Chain guide:

How tall do you plan to make it?
Cool Supports and Cars and all the attachments.

good continue this coaster mini racer it´s good

this one will be awesome!

[GreenAppleW]

I see you've used my chain guide idee, looks good so far

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Good luck with that chain guide! :tmbs

[TheSUCKCrew]

For as far as I know, SLC's do not have pre-lift drops.

Looks really good though, and love that cars!

[sdrawkcaBsihTdaeR]

Hmm, looks pretty good, that's some things going on in the chain guide
Oh BTW, how's the lift going to work? a tire drive or chain?

Not at the moment. There's just a few different models of them, either standard, extended, Shenlin and a few customs. Fly the Great Nor'Easter seems to have a slight pre-lift part, lol.

Nice job here, Gijs. I'll check this thread more often.

Creative use of XenoX supports (tube alternative based on Pinfari). I wonder if anyone can manage to get this chainguide to work.

I really like the supports!

I think this coaster will have a small pre-lift section.

The lift is working with a chain.

I've some problems with the chainguide. I'll try some things, bus I'm not sure I get it to work.

I really like the supports!

I think they're nice too.

Well, that high:









I've made a better picture of the chainguide:

[jespercoasters]

The 3rd picture bother's me does the chain runs smooth ?

[felesgustos]

No, the chain doesn't work at all.

[finrollercoaste09]

i think you will put gears in top

[IonZer0]

Rotate the whole gearbox 90 degrees (red gears towards the lift) so that the red drive gear pair gets to hook onto the chain with a firmer grip

You beat me to it, and yes, FTGNE is I guess you could say an exception to that "strange prelift" rule, but I will tell you that the prelift is a bit strange, a slight drop to a curve, then a 10-15 ft straight section to the lift, similar to what he has. (I know this because front row gives you a great view.)

Overall I like what you have so far, especially with your cars. Are you going to enter them into the Summer Heat contest for the Car Modifications? Btw, the gear box really reminds me of the one on Talon at DP for some reason.

A nice piece consuming base as well, I'm very familiar with those...

I have had a little experience with inverted chain guides, they always seem to make the chain stop. Try lubricating the chain guide and scaling down the motor for more torque.

[felesgustos]

I've tried everything you said but nothing works. I think it is because of the heavy trains.

A small update today, because I want to know if the shaping is right.

Lift


Drop






POV


Please tell me what you think.

[WardCoastez]

i think it could use some more banking. try to get banking start early in the drop
and i think it is a little bit too sharp at the second support the drop.
sorry, i cant help with the lift.i suck at making lifts
the lift looks amazing only sad it doesnt work

[alpal]

I think that drop needs more banking. Also, Sorry about the lift. It seems that no one is able to make an inverted chain guide.
