Sooo disapointed about nemesis inferno. cant use the living room anymore, as we now have a sofa lol, guess its bedroom builds from now. maybe some bigger out door projects in the summer.

 

however, I orderd a latex surgical tube as I ve seen a lot of other builders like Ryan oNeil useing them. turns out they are really good for launches as they streach for a long time and dont really hit a deadstop where they stop streaching like rubber bands do.

 

Ive built the launch and top hat of my new custom launch coaster. its gunna be similar to exelarator but a bit longer in track length and have some more newer intermin elements such as side ways airtime hills, heartline rolls and such.

 

let me know what you think!!!

the eccelaration rate on this is insane, the launch straight is only about 3.5 feet, where as the tophat stands 4 feet abouve the launch hight and just under 5 feet off the ground. so it packs a good punch, I canm also increase the speed so it can make a top hat hight of around 6-7 feet with this launch track. thinking of making a 6 foot launch in the future and seeing how tall i can make the top hat, maybe on a future kingdaka recreation or somthing

i once did a maxx force moc up (launch & first element), it was 7'3" ft, and the launch track was 3'9'' so i think that might be a record, but i'm intending on making a pulley launch that has a lot of power in a tiny space, and a regular green motor can prime

oh nice!... did some testing today, my celing is about 8 feet tall, my lanche track is about 4 feet long, bearing in mind my cars are weighed down with 4 AA batteries and some playdough, without thte weight is could get to the celing no problem lol.
