In the vid it looks like about 35deg.
If you would make it steeper, it would make it over the loop.

I will re-do the loop and if it doesn't work I'll have to raise my drop probably...

So I did a plain and simple layout because I need it to work consistenly at the science fair. Unfortunately I'll have to push the train over the crest because it got undone. But that's no big deal since I'll be right behind the coaster the whole time of the expo.

Comment please !

I wish i had enough peices for that........... the transitions are really good. Im not a fan of the 'staying close to ground or "low"' track. You should try and get a pheonix. It will solve your lift problems.
How can I say this ?... well honestly the pheonix is nothing compared to the scorpion, the train sucks and the only good thing about it is the lift hill. And my layout is like this because I have to make it fit in the back of a car.
It looks good, but why dont you just switch the metal wheels on your invert train with the plastic ones on your floorless? I'm guessing your not because the floorless doesn't work well with the lift...
Anyway, keep building!

Hmm... because I can't ? and yes the floorless works flawlessly with the lift but CD didn't put side-wheels on theses trains, so they are extremely inconsistent. The difference of speed with my floorless and my invert train is enormous.
Anyway it will stay like this because I don't have much time left.

the pheonix lift does help alot. The trains are good. And switching the wheels gave me a idea... Im going to the hardware store and hobby store to find some metal wheels the same size as the knex plastics.
