My love for K'nex Roller Coasters goes back more then 15 years! But there has always been a big issue with the normal trains, they are slow, bulky and get stuck on tight corners and twists. (and they look ugly)
So I spent 2+ years developing the best K'nex Roller Coaster train system, built for increased speed, tight corners, twists and tons of custom top designs.
See a detailed overview of the V2 train system below.
High Quality Printed Parts
Moving production in house not only reduces production costs but also helps to ensure that all units leave production at a high quality level, feeling like a real finished product.
Easy To Swap Top Designs
Brass threads located on the top and sides of the units allow themed top designs to be easily swapped out for new designs.
Extra Performance / Speed (Bearings NOT Included)
These trains use real bearings (not included) to give a huge increase in speed over the original k'nex trains.
Using the correct bearings matter! Cheap steel bearings run very slow out the box, this is due to them having rubber seals and being filled with grease.
My personal recommendation is to use ceramic or hybrid ceramic bearings with sizes: MR115-ZZ OR 685ZZ
The ZZ is given to bearings with non-contact metal shields as these bearings normally come without grease and are ready to use out the box.
New Swivel Axles
All wheel axles swivel forwards and backwords, left and right to allow the train to take super tight turns, twists and hills.
Universal Joint
This universal joint uses M3 brass threads with an M3 screw to allow for tighter corners.
Eddy Current Magnetic Brakes
4 super strong neodymium magnets are placed on the underside of each car to be used in eddy current brakes to help slow your train down to a crawl. A 25mmx3mm bar of aluminium including the 3D printed holders will be provided with every order.
A single bar with 3 holders for for Eurofighter, 3 and 4 car trains.
2x bars and 6 holders for 5 car trains or more.
