Meteorite knex roller coaster

This is my first micro tube supported hyper style coaster. I used some pieces to use to guide the track. I got the idea from sscoasters. Credit goes to bballer347. You will be able to notice the track guides in almost all the photos. The pieces used in the track guide are yellow connectors, black rods, red connectors and using different length rods to shape it how I want to. I will soon be making an instructable on how to use this style of track guide soon.

Wher do you get all these knex?

Hey Tornado96. I really like your coaster. I am working on a micro k'nex coaster too (B&M looper) but I use normal k'nex for supports, which works good. Could you give me any advice about a micro k'nex coaster?

Mittie55 in reply to Tornado96May 22, 2011. 10:37 AM

Okay. I've got a SSCoasters account (name: Newbie (lol.)), but I haven't post anything yet.

Tornado96 (author) in reply to Mittie55May 22, 2011. 11:41 PM

Mittie55 in reply to Tornado96May 23, 2011. 7:03 AM

Okay, I just use www.uploadplaatjes.nl and that works fine for me :P

Tornado96 (author) in reply to Mittie55May 23, 2011. 10:19 PM

lol send me a message once you upload construction pics of your first coaster!

Mittie55 in reply to Tornado96May 28, 2011. 3:03 AM

if i had that much knex i would build a really big gun

Tornado96 (author) in reply to failOct 31, 2010. 12:59 PM

A gun made out of micro knex would probably snap A LOT.

ryry2011 in reply to k-n-e-x(leaved ibls)Jan 22, 2011. 7:07 PM

Nice! I tried to build a micro coaster with tube supports,but it didn't work out :-(

RNB in reply to Jag56Jun 22, 2010. 4:18 AM

why don't you try the coaster from tornado96? He's made an instructable of Electric Eel, and that coaster features tube supports. Good luck!

Jag56 in reply to RNBJul 28, 2010. 7:14 AM

I will try,but I have to wait till Cataclysm is finished.

Tornado96 (author) in reply to Jag56Oct 1, 2010. 5:30 PM

lol, I'll lok out for the new coaster.

Tornado96 (author) in reply to Jag56Jun 16, 2010. 3:42 PM

Try big tubes. They're much easier.

Mr. Muggle says: Apr 18, 2010. 11:15 PM

DUDE awesome, make a video!

Tornado96 (author) in reply to Mr. MuggleApr 19, 2010. 5:05 AM

The only reason I could make a video of Scorpion's rock was cuz i borrowed the camera from a friend. But when I get back to Australia I'll buy one.

JMrocks in reply to Tornado96Apr 22, 2010. 6:46 PM

Hey! Why didn't you ask me for it? I'll try to bring it tomorrow.
the coaster is good :)

Tornado96 (author) in reply to JMrocksApr 23, 2010. 10:33 AM

Hey if you don't need can I use it for my current coaster when it's done?

JavaNut13 says: Apr 21, 2010. 1:34 AM

OMOFLG0G!!! (that doesn't stand for anything)

That is quite cool!!

People with too much spare time, keep up the wicked work!

You're getting a lot better! the crest is really misshapen try to make all your curves continuous. no flat parts and no sharp parts.

Tornado96 (author) in reply to the_burrito_masterApr 18, 2010. 4:53 PM

how is it misshapen? I want my coasters to be the best they possibly can.

the_burrito_master in reply to Tornado96Apr 19, 2010. 8:35 AM

Real hypers drops are made of a continuous curve like this

the green line is how it should look

the_burrito_master in reply to the_burrito_masterApr 19, 2010. 8:39 AM

a better way t make the track guide is to put the red connectors that hold all the rods on sideways so you can have 2 rods going through and make your own custom curves.

That will fix a lot of your problems try it on your next coaster.

:) TBM

Tornado96 (author) in reply to the_burrito_masterApr 19, 2010. 11:07 AM

there are three reasons i´m not going to do that.
1 i already started my next one
2 i dont have enough rods
3 i can make any type of curve with it. I'll be making an instructable on it later
BTW thanks for the advice.
