The reason for the pieces flying off is that u probably reached the full potential of knex grade plastic... to bad they don't have metal knex.

I know, that would be cool, that and they need to design more peices like telescoping peices.

Nov 25, 2010. 3:27 PMBlackonyx2234 says:
Wait maybe the centrifugal force is just causing the pieces to fly off...

I have some yellow gears....
Nov 23, 2010. 4:40 AMHitman227 says:
How many do you need? I have like 3-5 of them.
Nov 24, 2010. 4:07 AMHitman227 says:
Its one thing to have a knex engine break apart a high speeds but its another to have to pick the pieces out of your hand. Good luck finding the rest of the gears you need! : )

Sep 10, 2010. 12:22 PMmikstr2 says:
I built something like this a year back with my brother and i put it on full rpm (1250) and it literally exploded apart.... one of the cylinders flew off and its balance went way off and started to roll.... that broke 7 pieces in just one try
Sep 11, 2010. 7:32 PMmikstr2 says:
well it was really simple not as complicated as yours but it was pretty big.... i dont know i think it might have exploded before it reached full rmp..... i started it up slowly.... i should rebuild it and take a video
Sep 11, 2010. 1:16 AMAnidion says:
Wow! Fantastic! 5*
Sep 10, 2010. 10:19 AMNitemare says:
very nice build. where did you get the idea for this?
Sep 9, 2010. 12:21 PMslithien says:
***SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEM*** what i think is happen ing is its going to fast for the tan clip, so add two tan clips where the other goes, to add two tan clips place one on the right of what it sticks into and one on the left. if this works please tell me!!! hope it helps 5*
Sep 9, 2010. 11:43 PMslithien says:
Ohhhhh, i have anoter idea, you do what i said in my last idea and then saw of the end of the rod but still having room for a tan clip and having a tiny bit of end on stopping the clip from falling off???
Sep 9, 2010. 11:38 PMslithien says:
Oh yea..... :/ hmmmmm
Sep 9, 2010. 1:48 PMHiyadudez says:
