Yes, thanks Jumpboy, it was the person who invented

that very realistic and fast launch. Pardon me for not specifying what launch it was.

I have two ways of making it run (hand crank or

motors). Should I make a tutorial for both. The hand crank will probably go faster.

^Probably wasn't the most realistic, but a guy

awhile back strapped a CO2 cartridge on the sstrain and poked the hole in the back,

and let her rip. He used this on his like 22 foot or something coaster.

^Pretty fast the way he talked. He said it made it over

with plenty of speed, but I never saw a video...

no i think he does

have it in construction- he wouldnt give up i mean for God's sake he took a C02

Cartridge and put it on an SS car-is that not insane enough to lock him away in some

Russian asylum? I dont think i could see him give up........
