(the wheels are the add on witch makes it fire just a little further)

Tie one string to the center hole in a orange connector and make a slip knot on the other side
I can't get this. What's a slip knot

[GeekBeam]

he probly means that it's supposed to slip off the green piece you put on top of the orange connector there's another version of this on youtube i looked up knex trebuchets ill get the link soon so just a sec

[dsman195276]

look it up, it a type of knot.

[Bartboy]

And a band :P

[TOCO]

I built two of these they are really fun. My brother and I had a war with them. You should try my amo without a sling.

[GeekBeam]

u cud also use a rubberband a blue non-hole piece put the rubber band on so it is wedged in between the blue pieces & the rod

happy warring

[lilparker72]

i couldnt get the slip knot thing with the sling but ur ammo works perfect

[guy-man]

where do you put the slip knot?!?

[tribalmaggot]

put it round your neck and the other end around a tall beam =)

[me003]

i cant get it to fire right... mainly because i dont know where to put the slip knot... 7/10.

[lilparker72]

the slip knot part is really makin me crazy. i cant figure out where it goes or how to do it

[BobicusIX]
