You apply it to the axles because if you just apply it to the track it wont lat long and you'll have to keep wiping it down.

Thats what I meant, after you put it on the axels you can put it on the track

Thanks for the tips! I think I'll just try applying it to the axles if it needs it. Applying to the track sounds like a little more of a mess than what I want to deal with. Of course, I've yet to reach the stage of construction in my model where I know whether I'll need to lubricate the trains at all! But, I'm not far from that point now.

ya cuz i did it to the axels and it makes the wheels slick and the track too!!

[GregM]

Sounds awesome, coasterfreak. I do hope you will try your batwing element again some time since that was really cool looking.

[coasterfreak11]

i will! i am now over half way finished w/ my new coaster that MIGHT be named chaos and i need to build another lift hill prolly 4 ft tall and then i will make it go into a batwing, banked turn, inline twist down a drop and another inversion (cant tell yet) and hopefully it will have enough speed to make it through a millenium force banked turn!

[Funky21]

Can't wait, hope you finish soon

[coasterfreak11]

i am VERY close to being finished w/ the lift hill and i will be working on the batwing soon! so far its DEFINITELY my fav. model i have ever built!

[coasterfreak11]

i finished the lift hill and tonite i will finish the batwing! then i hope i have enough speed for a vertical loop and an inline twist(im still at school!)

[Funky21]

Remember to grease up the wheels and track

[coasterfreak11]

all right i will and thanks A LOT that helps me SO much cuz otherwise i would still be stuck on the rest of the model!

[Funky21]

Yeah well it works great, thats all I have to say

[coasterfreak11]

ya now i am halfway finished w/ the batwing and i am running out of pieces!!!! and i dont want to destruct my top thrill dragster model cuz it is not even 2 weeks old! does anyone know where i can find one RIGHT now for lees than 35? i sure hope so cuz i have looked at most websites and they are going for 60 or higher? i also checked on ebay which is where i will prolly get it.
