hey guys i built a coaster today and i relised how crap the rr car is. I was hoping the car would build momentem from a small hill but i didn`t and the car stopped at the loop (after the hill) every time. The car ws boosted up the hill aroud 2 greys tall and it then did a turning drop into the loop. Soi amwondering if you guys could tell me some stuff about the ss car and the ss set. If it sounds good i might buy a set off ebay. thanks

Well, Basically its just an all around more realistic, and better set. You can also make SS cars go through RR boosters. The SS cars are heavier and easier to weight which is helpful. The only tru difference in the sets is the cars, and how the car gets transported. And they are both compatable with each other.

You can't talk about bad cars until you try a Shark Run Car. Haha.

The SS is way better than the RR and you definitely need the cars if you want to build good coasters. It's hard to find a $20 ss on ebay, but you can always try.

Note: You have to modify the boosters to have the SS train go through them.
