CD in my opinion is much more annoying to build than knex because yes my fingers have bled from building CD and if you dont take precautions with CD, they WILL break on you... i like my knex :)

Your fingers bled? I built the Diamondback model for King's Island...twice! Once to test it and then after I painted it. My fingers did not bleed at all.

It's really just an exaggeration, but it does hurt my fingers. Are there going to be new rails for the Phoenix, or will they be the same kind as the ones already being sold?

It kills my hands to. I had to wear gloves sometimes so my hands wouldn't get destroyed.

Babies!

No pain no gain!

My favorite singer once said "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."

I've been working with the system since the end of 2004, you learn tricks to keep your fingers from hurting. However, if you are like me and have to modify everything no finger is safe when I have a blade in my hand!....LOL

Did you know that you can find SS on ebay for $.99 sometimes it you time it just right.

Anyway, if you need any help or support with you CD set let me know. I know quite a bit about the Scorpion system.

the track(the thing with the groove) in the Scorpion came for me all lopsided, so the track pieces dont go all the way in :( i think thats the reason why it won't make the circuit...

Hey today is friday and I don't have to go to school because of my kneee. Two days ago I was in the ER until midnight with a severly bruised and swulen and partly fractured leg. I am on cruches and this leg stabalizer.

Im geting it this sunday when I go to my grandmas house! Hopefully I can still build that.

No, you can't build CD when you're on crushes. You absolutely need your knees to build this model.

Seriously..... :)
