Received my 14.99 Dragon's drop coaster yesterday from K'nex. Why do some of you not like it? Just curious

Just a FYI, this is the Lava Launch thread, not dragons drop.

I know this is a Dead Thread but before you go nuts on me, I have bought 2 Looping Lighting sets and Each have old wire and the plastic ends.

Death Note is Awesome. :P

Sorry for bumping up an old thread, but would the Lava launch car reach the top when using rechargeable batteries?

As long as the batteries provide the same voltage (I believe), it should work fine.

Yeah, the thing is: Alkaline's have a higher nominal voltage then NIMH's, but that voltage quickly goes down the drain under load. NIMH's have a more consistent voltage, but their nominal voltage is only 1.2V per cell.

^ Try it to see if it works. I know this is the Lava Launch thread but i have to bring this up.Did you guys see the RR2? It has everything i would want from a knex coaster. Booster, Standard pieces, Curved track, and it doesn't cost very much. The only downside is that it doesn't have very much pieces. And it only has one car. Finally i can get a booster for a decent price.
