Here is my 7th coaster that i am still working on bu soon to be finished.
It is made with vertical vengeance and renegade run.
The link to the almbum is here: http://www.sscoaster....php?albumid=11

Got a few VV sets there?
Hmm this is pretty impressive for using slim track and for a new member. I've got one question though. What's with the flat part after the drop? If it's a break run you should swap the hill with the break run in my opinion.
Looks great! kepp us updated!!!

niiiiice, its really realistic for a Slim-Track coaster!!

I have a thought. You have a lot of cars, and each one has a chain dog. These chain dogs dont move as easily as SS ones do. So, it seems to me your going to be having this huge train hanging half way down this amazing hill, but one car is still going to be attached t the chain lift until it's released. Did you think of that?

ps- welcome to SSC!

[RCmaniac31]

well, the chain dogs are set up so they can go through the chain forward but cannot go backwards. So when the train gets enough weight forward, the last few cars will follow because they pass right through the chain:tmbs

That's an Awesome coaster! One thing though, when the cars go up right after the drop, the hill should be more rolling instead of flat 45*. Don't change it for this coaster though, it's great. The two drops after the 45* ascent look a little sharp to me. Great coaster. The name is good too lol :tmbs

i highly doubt it will make it for these resons:

1.you supported with micro pieces
2.your running such a long train with not well supportedt supports.
3. those camelbacks are really high for such little supporting and such long of a train.

but it looks good and it could make it. i just wont belive it till i see a video.

well for one thing you can believe that it will work and that it wont, but why would i make it if didnt even run? As soon as i get the video i will post it and show you that it does work. i greased the train and track and it runs a lot smoother.

the end of the coaster is two sharp turns and a bunny hill.
soon to be finished:tmbs

[lazor 22]

okay but those turns are going to kill speed.

[Garth]

It depends if it has speed idiot. If it doesn't have that much speed, it shouldn't kill the speed. And if it's just two sharp turns and a bunny hill., it doesn't matter. He is abviously finishing it...

[lazor 22]

okay im just saying that no matter the speed with micro track a sharp turn will kill the speed. are you planning on using 1 track picece for the turn, 1/2 of a track picece,etc.?

[RCmaniac31]

the turn isnt "that" sharp im using like 1 3/4 track piece for each

im finished.here are some pics:http://s269.photobuc...nt=IMG_0957.jpg

i will post a vid soon so you can see the whole thing

[LCAL]

Does that work? Its INSANE! If it works, you defiantly beat Lazor22 in slim track building

[RCmaniac31]

thanks, but i like lazors too. next i want to be the first one on the site to make a flying coaster out of micro knex with a pretzel loop.

[Coasteradict]

^That would be cool. Will is be your next coaster?

[lazor 22]

^^im making a flying coaster for my next-next project.

and this coaster looks pretty cool. and SteelJoker if i had more sets i could build something like this and id use normal supports so it would be even better. and i never use two chains on my coasters.


EDIT: you should enter this in the contest.

ok heres the the link to my yputube page where you can see the video:http://www.youtube.c...user=rcmaniac31

[lazor 22]
