Nooo!!!! That would ruin the awesomeness!

Definitely the best invert ever and I like the complexity of the motor and gear housing aswell.

Got another update on this. All I have left to do is the queue/exit paths, a little railing for the brake platform, add train 2 and that's about it. Final video will be shot most likely on Monday.

Delicious. Can we get an up close view of the brakes so we can see how they work?

Why do you have tape on the sides of your cars?
Besides that, it's awesome! The station looks so realistic.
Also, how does the train make that sharp turn from the brake run to the the station?

Tape is to hold the pennies in and the train makes the turn with the tire drives.

I know DP, but I have to say I literally have no pieces to make even an exit ramp and queue so screw that. All that I have a bunch of left are gray rods, the orange half moons for the original roller coaster and small green/black rods. The coaster is now fully functional with 2 trains. It took many runs to get train 2 to make it through after its first lubing. I also fixed that piece of shit lift jamming problem I had from the start. It turns out that 2 chain links had a bent nipple, which kept grabbing the gears and causing the chain to wrap around. The chain would also randomly snap while the train was ascending the lift.
Tomorrow I will be shooting the final video and hopefully have it ready for Tuesday. I don't want to leave you empty handed now, so you can watch a short video of the tire drives in action. Until then just wait till Tuesday and it will all be done with. This was short before I removed all those ugly SS stickers and before I added train 2.

Plus do you see a chain in the pictures?
It's the exact same housing as that of the 2 motors operating the lift. Anyways, the chain connected tire drives SUCK, so I'm putting an individual motor to each tire (2 are with electric, the rest are battery pack)
