This is my new coaster, a hyper. So far it makes the it barely makes the first hill, but I have not lubed my cars for like 5 months, so after I do that it should make the hill fine. Also the top of the first hill looks weird to me, how should I fix it? Well enough talk here are the pictures.

Hey there... that's pretty damn good looking.

Good work, I can't really find anything wrong. The crest looks weird but thats just because you haven't finished the other half. There is a little bit of an awkward straight part in the pull up, but that's tedious to fix.

Great work man.

It looks awesome so far. Like chubs said, it should look less awkward when you finish the left side of the crest. As a side note, I really like the way you supported the 2 highest parts of the first hill. It looks sweet for some reason. Overall very nice so far and I'm for surely going to watch this!

Looks very nice and smooth. Keep it going

It looks very good! I'd like to see the finished hill and maybe a J-turn next would be nice! Keep up the good work !

Woah, dude. When did you start building? This is spot-on.

I gotta say, this looks great.One question, though: Where are you going to put the gears?

Now I know what a J-turn is! I may put that in my coaster later but not now, I should get a update up later tonight so you can see what I have built, and tommorrow is my birthday so I'm going to stay home all day so I should get alot done on my coaster tommorrow but no guarantees.

I don't know yet but I'll find a place, I also got a TT motor off of ebay 2 days ago so I should get that soon, then I might make the gears.

Triple post and update!
Finished the top of the hill and now doing a turning drop. The crest of the first hill is still bugging me, I am not liking the turning drop ether. Got any layouts for me that don't enclude the turning drop? Or got any ideas on how to make the turning drop better? I also finished weighing the cars and now they make the first hill at a okay speed and I still need to lube them. Well here are the pics








Comment please! I can't build without them!

[Kevyn230]

well um. Its looking fine so far but i don't know if I'm right but i think that bend needs to be banked a little bit more. But apart from that its looking good.

It actually is banked alot, it just looks like it's not banked enough.

Keep the comment comming

[SwimZONE]

It does need to be banked a bit more, especially at the end, otherwise you'll get a lot of lateral g's.

[Knexrule11]

I rebuilt the whole turn. How is it now? And can I get more then 2 comments this time?

It could use a little bit more banking, but I think it looks fine. Go Sferico!

Try to get a few more track to support connections in there that aren't ball socket joints. In the 3rd and 4th pics, every connection uses one. thats bad ...

[Jonny]

Yeah a few more track to support connections will help. It looks better cause you changed the box support and you add floor supports.

Wow that looks amazing!
