This just got posted to Reddit. It looks similar to CoasterDynamix, but for Arrow instead of B&M. As far as I can tell it's not available yet, but they clearly have a working prototype. I thought some people here might be interested.

I wonder what the price for that is... It's cool to see arrow-like model track that is actually accurate, with the wheels being on the inside instead like the real thing.

I just saw this on Reddit as well. Looks interesting.
I wish there were more info on it.

I imagine the issue will be cost, like it was with Coasterdynamix. K'NEX can't even get roller coasters to sell well and they have a much better distribution network.

Wha?

Looks like it could be interesting. It does say low cost since it reuses common parts but I guess the market will be the judge of that. I wonder if the train speed can be improved as much as a K'nex train with weights and lubricant. It looks quite good though.

I guess it depends on how heavy the stock train is. There's an optimal weight before you start losing more energy to track flexure than you're gaining from adding the weight. I found CD trains to perform worse when weighted, but these ones are quite a bit larger than CD.
It's hard to judge the train speed since they've not posted an overview that shows the whole layout - it seems to be less efficient than CD but more so than Knex. It's not clear if the train in the video has been lubricated but I would guess not?
