Even if it doesn't shake it'll probably kill tons of speed.

Is it smooth and long?
Posted 06 January 2008 - 08:40 PM
By God, add more flexi rods to that! You should be able to get a bit more speed that way. Also, that last pic makes the transition out of the drop look very rough. Lastly, the loop's pullin and pullout look too tight.
As for your custom cars:
Those will probably work.

Seeing as I have had a bit of experience with these Vekoma hell machines...
Even if it doesn't shake it loses speed. I have no idea how Vekoma does it, but these drops suck (up speed) in K'nex. I'm surprised it made it as high as it did. Your best bet is to beef supports and make the loop smaller.

(In that other thread)
Here's a Vekoma-ish drop (too bad it never worked)
Even if it doesn't shake it'll probably kill tons of speed.
But I did, I did!
That other drop is a better decision. But that doesn't mean it'll be a lot easier.
