Pinkie's Crazy Train! tracks question!

[sabathamk]

Ok, so here's the first video I managed to do! It took longer than I thought because the fraggin cars kept tipping over...Hasbro needs to take a tip from badly designed SUV's and lower their center of gravity....Enjoy. More to come!

That is awesome!  I love that!  How many tracks did you use?

[toralei]

Awesome video! What the heck are you doing with the extra train segments, though  ?

[Chrissytree]

That's really cool!  I wonder how fast you can get it to go if you replace the motor!

[Bunny-san]

Ok, questions answered: How many sets of track? A full three sets of track, so I guess however many comes in the set x3...

What am I doing with the extra segments? That setup used ALL available segments. My hubby did a FABULOUS setup when he got home last night that did a great loop, but I missed videoing it. I'll try to recreate it today :3

How fast would it go if you replaced the motor: We actually tried to disassemble the engine, but unfortunately the way that Hasbro assembled the whole thing, the main drive shaft of the train seems to be SO very integrated into the body of the train itself that pulling it apart would mean very probably snapping the main drive shaft. Unfortunately you can't take off the wheels either because of the way that they are assembled. But honestly it's irritating enough to me that I'mma just going to throw caution to the wind and tear it apart. I wanna see the innards of the dang thing.

Epic heck yeah! Keep us updated!

Yes! Dissemble it for science!

Ooo, since you have three sets, which means three engines... yes? What happens if you mess around adding engines to the front or back? I guess it won't go any faster, though... Back to the thinking board. *smoldering top of head*

That looks so coool!

That was my first thought too, but I don't think the locomotive has a hitch in front of it.

[Bunny-san]

Nope, no front hitch and also, unless you time it just perfectly it kind of gums up the works however, it's fun making track configs where there's separate infinite loops where the trains JUST miss each other

I'm afraid to pry the dang thing apart. I fear permanent damage to either the BODY of the train or the motor/drive shaft. But MEH. As the mythbusters say "STAND BACK! I'm going to do SCIENCE!" O_Ov
