How to Build your K'NEX Starburst Spinner Thrill Ride

Nov 3, 2008 10:44 PM

K'NEX is one of the most popular construction toys on the market, right next to Lincoln Logs and LEGOs, but what makes K'NEX stand out is the fact that children can build mechanically derived toys. Instead of blocks or little logs, kids use interconnecting plastic rods and connectors, which give them tons of contraptions to build and play with. Today, K NEX has even more possibilities with wheels, pulleys, panels and flexi-rods to make amusement park roller coasters, airplanes, animals, bikes, cars, model buildings, transportation and various other constructed toys. K'NEX is great for girls and boys, the hobby enthusiast or the kid at heart.

These two video tutorials will help you to build your K'NEX Starburst Spinner Thrill Ride. Video 1 covers getting the motor up to speed and video 2 covers getting your model to loop. These are just some tips in addition to the written instructions provided in the box to help you erect the K'NEX Starburst Spinner Thrill Ride.

General Building Tips:

Battery connections may be loose. If the motor does not function after correctly installing two fresh AA batteries as instructed on page 3, bang the motor on a table to get it working again.
