Hey guys!

I started out with this plastic track stuff since I just got into knex coasters. Well its not very useable. So I have bought 250 Y neon green tube connectors so I can get into tube track coasters. Before I buy any high priced tube (since its rare I guess) I thought I might try finding an alternative. What are the diameters of the "normal" tube ( Ss and rr)?? Outer and inner or if anyone has it or can measure....

I'm planning on looking at home depot to find some tubing. I'm sure its much cheaper! I would take some sort of double cutter (2 razor blades space a little apart??) to cut out a thin strip so that the tube lays flat and to eliminate any bumpy ness. Has anyone tried this or have any input? Also is 250 enough to start with for track connectors?


Thanks and love the site!
