messed around with some inverted track, made a small loop and zero g roll, keeps the speed really well, thinking this can be a nice simple one to complete while i wait for the priority shipping for the final try of shipping the bearing assembly, my gf having some issues tonight though, so might want to go stay with her for a few days or a week at a time to keep her sain during the lockdown. 

 

this coaster seems to be about 1/3 to 1/2 way finished already in one night lol, left my charger at my gf's though so cant take any pics yet. im gunna try find my old charger, if it works ill upload some pics tomorrow morning.

`It looks really good!

Can we get a side profile on the loop? Maybe a shot of the heartline on the roll? :)

good news!!!! One of the sets that johonny sent out has arrived, gunna continue to buy the current set that hes finished printing out now, so might be able to make 2 5 car trains or one long ass one lol, probably do another custom after the invert is finished to play around with the cars a bit and then its time to retry colossus or smiler, depending on what i feel like im motivated to try again.

yh im super excited man thanks! ill pay you or the other ones you printed of, might as well since there already printed. and then i could make like a 6 car or 7 car train or something cool, for bigger coasters. and just be nice to have a bunch of extra spare parts for repairs

lol totaly forgot to upload some photos of how far ive got since the bearing cars came. just need to buildt the brakes, station and then finish the lift and its done!!!

 

what would people like to see the most from me next though, smiler, colossus or a custom intermin mega lite style coaster. I wana make all 3 but im not sure what order. although, if i reattemt colossus i think i might have to do flemingo lands new style intermin 10 looping coaster drop instead of the one like colossus as i might not have the space for it, I just about had the space for the last attempt but i would have had to put the final turn right up against the cobra. oh well ill just see what i decide.

 

also ive been playing around with the bearing cars for a bit and i can say they are quite nice!! a unweighted bearing car / train just about beats out my lubed and heavily weighted car / train, also after adding weight i gained even more speed / distance out of them, wana do a lot of tests to see when the limit of adding weight is, so when its no longer needed. either way ive maybe added 100g max to my train atm and it gives it that extra push to get around the turn and complete the course. where as it would stall on the turn 90% of the time before the small weight increase. and my normal train would either get stuck at the top of the corkscrew or roll back on it. so it is a large improvement. and im thinking this increase will only get better on a well supported coaster like an intermin mega lite, hyper coaster or multi inversion coaster as i use a lot more normal block supports on them rather than tube supports.
