How many coasters have you made before, and how big were they?

Well Uhh, I'll comment each picture.

1. Seems pretty good but i want to see a side view of the drop.

2. The pull up is weird and I wouldn't recommend putting a motor on a gear which is the bottom. It's like pushing a box up a hill instead of pulling it up with a pulley. Even though there is no real mechanical advantage.

3. Too many cross ties. It also looks weird since we can't see anything about its shaping.

Your pullout is big in the beginning, but then it gets tight at the end. Extend the botttom, and your good.
