Well this weekend i decided before i started on

Expedition Egypt the flyer i wanted to make a drop tower. I had to figure out how to

make a car that wouldnt be too heavy for the motor and I did. So heres some pics.

1. Overview of the ride, havent measured it yet.
2. Me lifting it to the top

otherwise the chain brings it to the top.
3. Shows the rubberband wich recoils

and makes the seats bounce up and down til it comes to a complete stop.

I

hope you enjoyed the pics, i wish I had a DC that made movies but I have to wait till I

buy my laptop to get a new DC. This rides is my fav so far.

P.S. any

suggestions for another camera angle? Ill happily be taking pics until Wensday as the

tower will become one with my collection of Knex Peices (im taking it down

)

Wow, that looks awesome! Does a connector

just push it up and release it at the top when the connector starts to go back down?

these things before I retire!

[Sum41914]

green rod attached and it catches it brings it to the top then comes back down, to

connected witht he car again.

Egypt.

Sum, what do you mean the registry?

That

tower looks really cool BTW, mind bogglingly tall and it's self working, finally

someone found a way to do it Well done, good job

mate!

[Sum41914]

Registry meaning the place you go to get your license

and driving permit, I’m 16 1/2 turning 17 next month and wanted to get my permit but i

forgot my birth certificate on the table when I left so I couldn’t get it.

Thanks for the comments, once again I wish I had a camera that took video to show

that it works.

[Pleasureland Fan]

Oh right, thanks for clearing that up.

Its

OK, we believe you that it works, lol

All file attatchments on the forums have

been removed for stupic board pruning. (I don't think file uploading shouldbe

allowed because it is obvious that allowing it will lead to extreme amounts of bandwith

being used) so you will have to wait until the pics can be re-uploaded or uploaded to

the gallery.
