You ready to ride the Fist O' Pain?
Posted 03 December 2008 - 10:15 AM
^ Not exactly...but close 
^^ Hmmm...Ive seen that somewhere before...sarcasm?!?
As some people have said recently, "Once you do tube supports, it's hard to go back." Well Im planning on doing this and another coaster using box supports, so ha!
And Ive decided to do 2 elements which will reverse the car's direction. The first will be extremely similar to ForbiddenMineExpedition's first transfer track, but without the ball chase.
The second one I discoverd/came up with while working on Stealth's launch track...

sounds like maybe...
A ROTATING TRACK???
idk, maybe a piece of track which rotates upside down in the same way transfer track goes to the side...

This may be a bit vague...but if you have some sort of gearing system to catch it, after it has been going up. you have it rotate a perfect 90 degrees, (try using an orange gear... found in the knex drop 'n' swing) then have it let go of it going backwards.that will be cool if u had rotating track. but the real question is how are u going to do it.

^ Are you saying I should make the whole tower tilt over?
^^ The real question is, I already did it. Or statement. Fact. Whatever.
Well, I have this coaster all sorted out. Ill have pics of the first special element in a bit. But it's not finished yet, I still need to add a motor and get the switch to work right.

^If I'm not mistaken, it's a tilt section. Innovative.

^ Correct.
^^,^^^,^^^^: No, I wont post a tutorial. I can post close-up pictures, though, but later.
^^^^^ Thanks.
I have a name for this, but I dont want to announce it until I make its logo (to make it more dramatic). Also, the theming will depend heavily on the name.
Update:
And a test vid:

Pull out needs to be more smooth in comparison with the straight down (beyond vertical?) section. Other than that, I think it looks great!

The pullout jerks to the left in the second picture, but besides that, it looks good.

2X "Most Entertaining"

DESPERATELY NEEDS LATERAL SUPPORTS/BRACES.
Okay, I felt like typing in caps, anyways.... Interesting system. I guess I like the design, and idea. Vertical launch, fun. But, instead of going on about the good parts I'll give you some helpful advice, :tmbs
1. The whole lift should be 90* until it flies over, I see it goes from 90*- 70ish* then flies over. It should be like this; http://rcdb.com/ig4049.htm?picture=15
2. Yeah, lateral *side support, to keep it not swaying side to side*

^ If he changed it to be like that, it would be sharp at the beginning, which wouldn't be good with a launch
Looking at the video, it might be a little sharp when it starts to pull out, but other than that it's fine.

Did you throw something at the launch ?
