I myself bought one from another Etsy seller last year, but it is no longer listed. This week I searched for “gravitrax” and went through every single result, and did not find another lift currently being sold. Apparently Etsy offerings change over time.
Great video! I've been a huge fan of those motorized lifts for a long time now :) using the ramp to launch marbles into a tiptube is fun, try it sometime!
What I'd really like to see from the pendulum though is a demonstration of the amount of speed it's released with on a perfectly even rail. Gaining a good sense of the amount of speed it comes out with is what makes me decide to buy it or not. The problem I see with how it's designed is that because it needs to rest on a platform it's hard to connect it with a rail that goes down right away and for whatever reason I don't get Ravensburger didn't make normal leveling blocks hollow so things can fall down through them, why not exactly? It saves them on plastic and it allows people to put a standard vortex they make on a leveling block as well.
@@MaskedMarble That's good to know. How many hexes does it make on an even rail you'd say? Like say it's put on 1 end on a 3-hexes big platform, does it bridge the 3 hexes on it's own before it can go down on it's own after that?
All i really want is a switch that doesn't break when multiple marbles come through it at once, but a super zig zag will do for now. Also i wonder if combining it with the rollercoaster rails would work?🤔
Magnitech raises an interesting question. I don’t see why it wouldn’t. The only problem is you’d need a quantity of 5 of the particular rail you’re using.
I think the Power Elevator and Lever will be Ravensburger’s only lift options for a long time. But the marbles probably won’t mind if a 3D printed lift is used instead.
@@MagmaForce_ Sometimes store owners will remove it, but sometimes they'll just put their store on auto-pilot, print in batches, and once they've sold all of that batch the store doesn't display that product anymore.
