T-BONDIcoasterkid Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Hey guys! I just made a custom K'nex coaster called Gravity Force. I know, its a very small layout, I was just trying to make a succesful knex custom coaster. It features a 105 foot lift hill (well not in real life ), an Overbanked curve (MF style ), and a small airtime hill. I also added a unique lift hill structure that is VERY stable, a station, and some nice support stuctures (Overbank and lift hill)! Give me some advice and please dont say, whys the layout so small, because I already explained tha. Now here are some pictures! Enjoy! vid 1.wmv Just a short video of it.
T-BONDIcoasterkid Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 Ok,I added some new supports, and new cars!
Moose Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Looks good and much more realistic than anything K'nex puts out.
accelerate Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) I used to have this set, but I never did anything realistic with it. I have no idea where it is now. Edited October 17, 2011 by accelerate

accelerate Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Oh for crying out loud... I meant the k'nex set that you got the track and cars from. EDIT: I seriously hate my iPod's autocorrect. It screws up what I'm saying.
harper83087 Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Pretty cool...I have the four sets of this style available at my local walmart and want to re-create Maverick, I know I'll need more pieces and a launcher but it's a task I'm determined to do . How'd you hook the cars together? I haven't buckled down to see how it could be done yet, just fishing for ways to do it.

Its essentially useing rubber bands to connect each car, and Maverick will be a big task for knex micro, you need many turn peices, I wish good luck to you!
