Go to pg.3 for Bobcat V2, post #58


Yes this is will be my MOTY coaster, if I can finish it on time. The train goes over the hill with good speed so I hope to make the next hill the same or almost the same height. The lift is a little more than 10 blue rods tall and the next hill is a little more than 7. I'll have to order more blue rods though , I've already used almost half of them.

I was thinking of making a turning drop or a flat turnaround next.

That pullout is WAY to small. Come on man, you should know that.

[Renegade]

I have to agree. As fluent & heartlined as that looks (great job by the way), it is a fairly small pullout/in, and it'll kill a lot of your speed.

[G Force]

I made the pullout bigger. I'm not finished supporting yet, I just wanted to make sure it was big enough.

Looks much better. Don't make it go over the hill to fast, you don't want to lose speed.

[Fraggie]

i dont know, it still looks small to me.

[RightWayTrey]

Yeah, it's still really small.

Your drop is really straight too. It looks like you did it on purpose? I think you should change it.

[Jplaz]

Part of reason it looks so small is b/c it's turning, so b/c of the angle it looks smaller than it actually is. Can we get a side view from the other side?

[G Force]

^^^^I might make the next hill taller, because if flew over with a completely unsupported pullout.

^^The coaster supposed to be a Fred Church coaster, his coaster always had a straight drop. Along with most coaster from the 20's -50's.

^Sure.

I'm going to CP tomorrow, so no updates until probably Sunday night or Monday. Comments

i think this will be the best woodie ever out of knex

^ Spam, use the EDIT button next time.

Looks really good man, the pullout looks much better. It looks like it has too much banking in this pic though:

[SwimZONE]

^Yah, maybe a little less, unless it was a B&M. They bank the bottom of turn pull-outs funny.

[Outerlimits659]

The coaster supposed to be a Fred Church coaster

Did his coasters have heartlining though?? Just a thought....

Looks good though, just do what st33l said and you'll be good.

Here's the raised hill and completely supported pullout. I also made the lifts crest bigger and a little taller. It barely makes the hill but I haven't lubed the trains in almost 4 months. Theres a test video to.


New crest (Ignore the last support on the left)

It looks very nice to me. I like that you're making the lift less than 45 degrees. It's very smooth and well supported too. Great job!

[G Force]

Sorry for the long time without updates, but I was on vacation. I finished the turning drop and pullout. Next I want to make a short ejector hill. maybe 2 rods 3 blue rods tall. Also can a staff member please move this thread to the Directed or Sponsored Construction form please, Im now a member of INFINITE DESIGNS! Thanks



Pullout


This picture makes it look like theres no banking, its just the angle.

looks good to me. well shaped, definitaly supported enough, i say move on.

[NitroDude319]

Very nice and smooth. I like the shaping also. Keep going.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

I like it. The pullout is a little small, but it's okay. I like how you did the banking too.
