[Funky21]

Kool squriel, it has been quiet along time since

we've had an Xcelerator model or even a recreation!

[Da Squriel]

here is a pic of my last one with one set.

[Ace o Spades]

Uh, that isn't all THAT good, but hey, why

should I be talking when most of my Xcelerators turn to rubbish within 24 hours.



First of, the tower is wrong, look at this pic to see why.

The overbanks are not right,

they are just elevated normal turns, and they look very rough.

Supports

also look very weak as well, try making more of them next time.

Fix these

things and you have a good ride.

i would have to say for one set thats really good but the top hat is not

correct from the other pic but otherwise i hope with the more sets its works out for

tou.

[Westside7th]

Looking at that, I would not call it Xcelerator. It looks

more like a custom design but with a similar layout. The top hat is unique. I like the

turns after the top hat because they look fun to ride through. Nice coaster.

I'am working on the first half of the crazy

eight.

[CostaKid]

Crazy Eight huh? Did you make that up? I call it two

overbanks.

[Da Squriel]

Well i call it a crazy eight and i'am working on

it right now.

[sfmm_freak]

ok?... Those would be some major laterals on that

"top hat". I htink i will make one with accurate supports and hopefully

magnetic breaking.

[Westside7th]

I doubt there would be many Gs on the top hat. On

Dragster, the coaster always goes pretty slow over the top. Sometimes it just creeps

along and barely makes it over. I doubt that squirrel's coaster would have high

Gs on the top hat unless it whipped through the top hat with lots of speed.

[Da Squriel]

I'am having graet difficulties with the first over

banked i cant get the suports in the right spots.

I got it to work and look

good so now i'am working on the second over bank.

I'am

having trouble with my second over banked turn, it almost makes it though, but it

won't, i have pulled the rubberband back as far as i can, but it still will not

complete the circit.

edit: fixed

[Metalhead]

Please say the second sentance in english please.

I'am having trouble

with my second over banked turn it almost ,makes it. I have pulle dthe rubberband

back all the way and the suports are strong and i thits nothing at all.

Let me try to translate: "I am

having trouble with my second overbanked turn. It almost makes it through. I pulled

the rubberband back all the way, the supports are strong, and it hits nothing."

Squirrel, lets se a pic of those supports so that we can get an idea of it. Also,

use WD-40. Sometimes, even if a doesn't hit anything, the train can hit itself or

the cross ties when a piece of track is to sharp. Make sure everything is smooth too.

Another thing about supports, make sure the whole track has good supports, not just

certain parts.

[Ash]

it looks good

[Da Squriel]

Yeah it is working im building the break run right

now.

[CostaKid]

What did you do to get it to work?

I assume put wd40 as

somebody suggested it before, either that or he decided to add supports to his coaster.

J/k.
