A sad story about failed project - Roller Coaster
Gijserman replied to teflon's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi Teflon, Gijs from Brickride here! Your track looks pretty cool. I think support is the key here.. Our roller coaster in action might look a little flumsy when it's moving around as the train goes through, but it's actually super firm. We hope you decide to give it a go some time again! We've actually had years and years of experience, so don't give up hope too quickly! Now that LEGO has it's own track we decided to raise the bar a bit and work on a suspended roller coaster (first results are promising by the way). So keep an eye out for that :-) -

Hi Tofe59, Yes we've seen your roller coasters, we really like the launched roller coaster. Very cool! Can you make a how-to video for it? -

Thanks everyone for the kind words :) I have made a 3d model of the track for anyone it might interest It's an update of our previous track design. This track is much stronger and a tiny bit narrower than the previous design, so it's faster and can hold a lot more weight. -

This is the original speed. I think somewhere between 800 and 900 -

Here's the chain lift! Thanks! The camera work was all done by hand (but with good equipment) -

For anyone who's interested, we are making some how-to videos for this roller coaster. Here are the first two. More to come. And a small EV3 controlled test: -

If you look at our youtubechannel http://www.youtube.com/user/Hoezer2 in the header image, you see how we did it with our previous track. We use Part 63082 and Part 3614b. The problem with the new track is that it probably can't hold that much weight (although we will try it some time) I don't think any type of wheel exists that runs as smooth as the 9v train wheels. Even when we used Part 2878c02 instead of Part 2878c01 it went slower. -

Here's an "exploded view" of the car. It doesn't have all the parts, but does have some important ones.
