I would like to know if these tubes look good to you guys. Do you think they will give me any problems down the road. I've looked at some other tube supports and they mostly have connections o the rods and not the rod connectors.(the blue 3d piece) is there a reason for this? It feels strong to me, and I honk I'm gunna have them be a 6 or seven rod tube. Do you think I should space the rods evenly, or spread the connections out, if yo understand that. Thank you, help is appreciated very much.m

Note: I'm planing on making the tubes metallic green.

They look alright to me...
One tip, have the connectors easily spread apart. I would recommend having at least 3 per rod.

Agreed on 3 connectors per rod. With the micro I do 6 rod tubes and unless it's going to be 1 rod long I use different lengths to stagger the ladder connections:

Personally, i love gump style tubes, strongest ones ive ever used, just gets weird for height at times. These look fine to me, they might have some weakness if they are being push a certain way, should do ok if you got enough of them.

Ok, so I've put the tubes to use and they seem to work fine.(although a few more blue 3d connecters squeezed in there wouldn't do any harm) Also, I had to start on a new smaller coaster because the basement needs to be clean for the next couple weeks...Now if only I could move this thread into the Construction Forums.
