Ramp Angle

[Samski2]

Hey

I'm making a summer setup and am not sure what angle is best for a ramp. I have made a 2m structure and just need to decide how steep to make the ramp. Any suggestions or reccomendations?

Cheers

theres a ton of science that actually goes into it...

usually i just plug it into e = mc(squared), that should give you a rough idea of the angle.

to steep and you will loose all your speed in the transition. make it like 40 degrees so you can pump good forwards or swtich and get a nice boost.

If you're travelling at c, that's one hell of a drop in you've built

yeah the part at the bottom is an important part. i went to a rail jam where they didnt have anything at the bottom and you lost so much speed because of it.
