Golfie Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 I've been looking at buying a Coasterdynamix set for months now, and I'm wondering about the best way to go when purchasing sets. If you have past experience, what works best? Will the Scorpion set be large enough for a beginner to create small, yet exciting layouts? Is the track easy to work with in both large and small scenarios? Thanks, Golfie
MagicMountainMan Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 I have a Scorpion and I think it's fine for me. And the track it relatively easy to work with. I'm not sure about the Dragon though, seeing as I don't have one. But the Dragon comes with a 4' lift hill and 40' of track. The Scorpion comes with a 2' lift hill and 30' of track. So if you were looking to make your own custom design and wanted a lot of track, just buy two Scorpions (which gives you an extra 20' of track) and you save $100. But take note (the catch) that buying two Scorpions still doesn't give you the amount of supports that you get with one Dragon set. But you can always go to Home Depot or wherever and get extra piping and spray paint it. (It's still a deal if you want to get extra track and save $100)
coasterJunkie94 Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Yea thats a good idea you can also make the train floorless or if your a good modler make a sitdown. i've bought alot of pvc pipes for mine and they work fine and they keep the track more steady
Golfie Posted July 2, 2007 Author Posted July 2, 2007 ^Cool! I've seen people do that on their models, and I think that would be the best plan since my budget is less that $300.
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Golfie, if your buget is under $300 I would recomend you save for a bit,buy a scropion set, and an extendor set of your choice. (small is about $50 large is about $100)
