You could do that?? Wow, that would be......hold on, I've already used 'very nice' and 'amazing'......how about 'awe inspiring'?

[the_burrito_master]

lol I think I can all I I have to do is use a motor to relies the launch thingy that would also pull a trigger thingy for the lights and make them go row by row.

[Outerlimits659]

Gosh, suddenly I feel so clueless about knex coasters, lol. Sounds good though!

[coastergeekrtc]

Yea it's simple electronics and can be done. Nice coaster, I always wanted to see someone use PVC pipe to replicate the TTD supports, but this is the next best thing!

Aren't we going a little, "beyond knex"! This is amazing! Very nice and realistic. Love it!

Dude you should do a Co2 launch if you think it would make it up, this may have bine asked already but why arent you doing kdk if it is the tallest and fastest even though I do prefer ttd?

[knexems]

I think a Co2 launch is getting a little complicated, but if he wants to spend the time to make it, go ahead!

I know why he picked TTD. TTD shattered worls records by far. It also has cool themeing. KK is just a little taller and has a hill at the end. TTD was the first of its kind; KK is cool, but TTD is more special. Well that's just my perspective...

[Jogumpie]

Guys, CO2 is only for 40+ feet tall.

[the_burrito_master]

^^ yes that is exactly why I did I just think that kdk is a bigger copy off ttd.

^lol I'm just doing a simple rubber band launch.

^^^ I'm not doing kdk because it it so lame.

^^^^ no way!

^^^^^ yeah I know it is very simple I think I'll do it with 4 light switches or something.

update.

don't be alarmed by all the bumps those will be straitened out when I put the grey rods on the pull in.

sorry about how bright and dark the pictures are it is night time.

the heatlineing it might be a little to small right now but I'm still working on it. yep I do need a bit more.

[PlanetSaturn56]

The first pic makes it look really good. But the bumps kill it for me.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Could you add flexis? or would that make it lumpier?The heartlining looks weird too...

[the_burrito_master]

^ &^^yeah if you would read you would have known that I was gonna fix all the bumps later. (I ran out of time when I had to eat dinner.)

^I think I might be able to ad flexies but it might make it worse

ok I know what I need to fix now guys thanks.

[the_burrito_master]

update:
the crest is taking shape I got the pull in so hard I can put a brick on top of it and nothing happens ,and I fixed the heartline role.

[Britfag]

Lower the top a little.. Its far too pointy..

EDIT: ROFL I got caught, That second picture is a mirror xDDD

[the_burrito_master]

is this better

[PlanetSaturn56]

It looks kinda thin...

[Outerlimits659]

^Actually, TTD's crest is supposed to be pretty thin.....anyway looks very nice, but are you using flexis???? If you are, there doesn't seem to be a connecting point between them.

[coastergeekrtc]

Not having the orange connector tends to make the track smoother.

[Outerlimits659]

I never knew that technique.....I might use it on my upcoming coaster.
