i think he got the URL wrong, try http://www.knex.com/...tory_tubing.php

No it wont work. thats the same tubing as on the origanal coaster set. plus its only like a 5 foot leangth

[Jogumpie]

The diameter is too small and it doesn't really bend in a smooth way. Thus, not to use on coasters.

[lazor 22]

OK, does the tubing for CC or BABF tubing work?

[coasterkid101]

^ the babf does have the right kind of tubing, it is about the same diameter as the rr set.

Big Air Ball Factory tubing works, but i don't see why you'd ever want to use it...there's not enough.

And i believe coasterfreak11 used the small orange tubing on a coaster once...he changed to using it on the insides of the crossties later though...it didn't work out as well as he though. The train moved around too much.

you can put it in the middle but not on the edges because its to small for the wheels to hug ,as coastercrazy10 said.

so use it in the middle of your track thats what I'm doing with blue streak.

It's weak as hell though so putting it in the middle might as well be for looks.

You could use the orange tubing for a k'nex version of a Velkoma coaster! about the same amount of space between wheels and the rails!!!

Lol. Actually, the gaps between the original tubing and the train's wheels are bigger than Vekoma's gaps.

I only wanted the orang etubing for looks. Of course if i wanted tubing for length I would pay alittle more to just get the RR tubing.

^Don't get rr tubeing it gets tears in it (or at least mine did), i'll take pictures of it later!

hey that happened to me too I think it's because the rr has such bad slopes and the rr car tares it up.

[CP-ephY]

for some reason k'nex is selling ss and rr tubing again after not having it there for a long time so if you want I'd take advantage of that.
