^how can I make it less than 90* and I knew that.

can someone move this to construction!?

[lilmikemarin]

I think the turn is way to big/wide.

[Maverix]

Also maverick only has 3 cars per train. Insted of 90* make the turn at around 45-ish. It should also start to twist during the pullout, not after it.

[the_burrito_master]

^If I make it a 45* it will slow the car down a lot faster.
ok 3 car is easy to do thanks.

[the_burrito_master]

up date time!:
note, you may see a lot of small bumps in the twists but those will be fixed once I add some more x ties.

[Mikecoastermaniac]

I have never rode maverick, but im pretty sure the turn starts directly after the pullout.
I also believe the banking is not 90* You should deff. change that to 45* as well.

[the_burrito_master]

watch this
It's closer to 90* than to 45*,and 45* would slow the coaster down a lot more.

Did you notice that I panted m cars red? The next one I get will be painted blue.

Use the hinge pieces and people pieces to create the banking.

Even if it is closer to 90 its doesnt looks right because maverick doesnt go the full 90. And also, Even after the first turn it may seem like you have speed, but after all the others, you wont have enough for the twisted horseshoe roll.

[CuteLittleBunny23]

i totaly agree^ Speed is almost always the problem in recreations. Especialy on maverick. There are 3 of thoose turns and you wont have enough speed.

[the_burrito_master]

^^ & ^^^I guess your all right ,but I'm not sure if I have enough hinges and people parts.

^yeah I might have to make something other than a twisted horse shoe role to make it work.

Ok tell me right now if you guys even think that it's even possible? but look at nitro that thing was huge and it made it ,but it did have a 8 ft. lift hill...

[DeAzncy]

ok, just try heartlining it more...if you look at the POV of Maverick, it is heartlined smoothly. so just look at that and copy it.

[the_burrito_master]

^ok as I said those those weren't finished but yeah your right. :tmbs

I looked at the lay out of maverick and now I DO think it WILL be possible!

[Airtime]

what are people parts?

[DeAzncy]

^^sounds great! i am excited to see this one completed. update us whenever you can with pics!

[the_burrito_master]

^^ they are these pieces http://www.knex.com/...php?imageid=364

^I am right now!

Update time:
I made the banked turn less banked now its a 80* angle ,I measured with a protractor.


here is the fixed drop:


and a very nice un-bank re-bank:

[DDRman732865]

Yes, that looks way better, now that they're not 90*.

[the_burrito_master]

thanks I tend to agree!

[Airtime]

I like the red-colored cars! looks very better!

[VV Khan]

Yeh man it looks great now, move on.
