I will post pictures of elements, but I don't think I'll be able to make instructions for each one because I don't have enough time. Is that alright?

You will find plenty of those kinds of elements on Instructables.

I also made a video about making a spiral bowl (on YouTube) which can help you there.

Lightbulb Speed Coaster Ball Element
You may have seen my Youtube video with the new element. Anyways,

Instructions: Aline two Speed Coaster Track pieces together. Then, clip connect a red or yellow micro-connector to each side. Connect them both together with a yellow micro rod. Repeat this action for as mutch as you need. for bends, reconfigure the red or yellow connectors' positions. Use red connectors if you need guard rails. attach red rods, and put more Speed Coaster Track on them.

Discription: Make a great ball element out of knex parts you would never dream of! With this you can make straight, or twisted track! This element only needs Speed Coaster Track, and basic Micro-knex pieces!

Name: Speed Coaster Ball Element

Picture:
Please don't bump dead threads. Just make a new thread to discuss this.

It's fine. You really didn't do anything wrong.

I just posted that because I don't want you to think it's okay to bump dead threads all the time. Sorry for the confusion.

EDIT: Wait, actually, there's only two pages in this forum section right now, so I guess it's okay to an extent.

No one was in the wrong. On SSCoasters, there are some really old threads. Here, not so much yet because it has only been open a few months.

Plus, a lot less people go on this site than ssc. It's hard to post anything without bumping a thread.

The micro knex tracks are a cool idea, I might use it sometime.
