You are using WD-40 on this model?

i put a good spray on each axel along with 5 quarters

on each car taped on the bottom. the other thing that helped is that the track barely

moves or shakes

Squriel, the pretzel turn is fine, I just think the train a

bit too much speed for that section, maybe you could add the little brake thing there

like it is in real life, that is, if it has more than enough speed to get thru the coaster as it

is.

No jump I think you should pay attention to your self I

clearly stated it was ok so be quiet and I love how smooth it is coaster guy good job.

And about the speed just take 1 of those quarters off.

The height of the

actually i some brakes on the 3rd

hill. if i made it go any slower i dont think it could make it back to the station. also i

dont think it has too much speed, it just seems really fast since it is smaller than the

real thing.

Do the quaters really well? I havent heard of

the technique before.


they work

very well, but if you put too much on there it will slow it down. also if the weight can

shake it will absorb the energy from the train and slow it down.

and squriel,

saying the pretzel turn is too low wont do me any good now, so keep it to yourself.
