November 3, 20223 yr Check this bad boy out: https://www.kingsislandgear.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/the-racer-nanocoaster-plus $59.99, but if you at the size it seems pretty darn cool!
November 3, 20223 yr Sure wish there was a pre-built option. I don't have the patience for the really small ones, much less a 2' model. How about a Home Depot builder add-on?

How a out a Home Depot builder add on? My issue is the removal of the pieces from the metal plates. The instructions tell you to just use a pair of nail clippers. Yeah right. How the heck do you get those in the slots to cut the tabs? I’ve also tried x-acto knives, wiggling the pieces back and forth, using wire snips etc. It’s still hard as heck to get the pieces separated. I get aggravated because by the time I get them off I’ve distorted or bent them in some way.

Use these, when I was in the field this is what I used (and still use in my personal electronic hobbies) to cut the 22AWG wires in a twisted pair cable after terminating it in a phone or server board. They are appropriately called flush cuts. https://www.amazon.com/Cutter-Lightweight-Klein-Tools-D275-5/dp/B000GTMZHG/ref=asc_df_B000GTMZHG/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312003160272&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7674252148202395304&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9016578&hvtargid=pla-383611725565&psc=1

THAT would make me want to work for the park, as a full time model builder.
