Has anyone ever built a Knex Intoxx ride that is decent quality?

I am in the process of building one. I need some special steel rods to stiffen the main arm, and the two swinging floorless gondolas. My father is going to buy me some from The Tractor Supply store as soon as they have some in stock.

Considered it, but decided to put it on hold.

I actually made one a few years ago. If I find pics of it, I'll definitely post them on here!

Did the main arm sag when the ride was in operation? Or did you use a steel rod for the main arm?

^ The arm did sag, sadly.

I built a Intoxx ride many years ago and it had a sagging arm. Now that I have steel rods that I can use, I do not have to have a sagging arm or sagging gondolas.
