I thought this up half a year ago...
Hope you think it's good!

Simple, a bit noisy, and user friendly!





What do you think?

Wow! Those are pretty cool! They don't look as complicated a PlatinumCoasters brakes, but still look like they work well. Nice job!

Thanks...
Oh, and you can't put these brakes along with middle tubing... But besides that it's fine :)

These look cool. I love the look on yor face when your attaching the brakes to the track. I would use these but I already got brakes...

^^^I tried it with middle tubing and you can. You simply take the middle tubing off the cross ties a few centimeters before the brake. Then you push the tubing through the gray one-way connector. After that you put it back on the track a few more centimeters after the brake. It actually strengthens the brake a bit, too.

I didn't understand that video at all, so could you post a picture of the finished product? Thanks.

The video was rather simple :o
Anyway, alright, I'll do that tomorrow, unless someone wants to explain it to him.
Look through the video again, and stop every time I show the brakes.

You need a lot of speed for these brakes to work, and just 1 is fine. If you don't have enough speed they bounce back.

Guys, I know you're new but this is a dead thread, and by posting in it you bumped it. Dead threads are threads more than a month old. So don't do it anymore.
