ill put 8 crossties per grey rod for the lift.

Way too big. Seriously, its gonna end up cancelled or you'll run out of pieces (cancelled). And you don't wanna be spending hundreds of dollars buying blue rods because you'll most likely never need that many again.

Yah, dude, maybe 3-4 per rod on the straight of the lift is sufficient
and make the Flexi's grey rods (ONLY ON THE STRAIGHT LIFT SECTION)
it'll help smooth it, and reserve Flexi's

^Yeah, and try making it so the orange connectors are at different spots, so they're not right next to each other. If they're right next to each other, they can cause bending. It's a good tecnique to use throughout a whole roller coaster.

BTW, Kamikaze is the correct spelling.

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

I put less crossties on the lift and I made the lift hill chain work well. It might be to slow what do you think? I also showed you how I did the chain.

[/\ero]

How do we know if it's slow if it is just a picture.

[imakecoasters]

It's Kamikaze.

Im putting up a video soon its uploading right now

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

Chain lift video tell me if it is to slow.

[/\ero]

It's to stop and go but it's fine. I don't think it will make it over the top with that gear there.

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

The red line represents were the chain is now and after the drop is done, the green line ill represent where it will be.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Okay, just remember to spend as much time as you need making the drop perfect, especially after Firefall.

[LukeIsLuke]

Why in the world did you put the motor on the bottom! Think, whats easier, pushing something down, or pushing something up, and the chain is going to have a harder time catching onto the gears, unless you made the chain have no slack at all. Thats why the car inches.

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

^I always put my motors on the bottom because it makes there less weight on the top, which reduces shaking. And they always go the same speed.

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

^ ya after I did firefall, it made the track shake so thats why I am not putting it on the top anmore.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

^Well, I'm not surprised that Firefall's track shook a lot...
Are you almost done with the drop?

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

no I dont have any more blue rods or yellow rods. so I need to buy some but i dont have any money.

[da master826]

OK if that's the situation then make your lift shorter. Yours is pretty huge anyway, so it wouldn't be a shame if you took part of it off.

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

how much like 6 inches?

[da master826]

Enough so that you can have enough pieces to finish the ride.
