Despite all these difficulties the pair think they could attempt to increase the loops by a further one or two in the future. The speed of the Hot Wheels car increases as it descends from greater heights causing the car to lose balance. The length of the platform, it's weight, and height also presented difficulties in handling. As the number of loops increase, the project became challenging in terms of scale. There were a numbe rof challenges faced by the pair. The plywood used for the platform was upcycled from scrap. The cost was less as the brothers already had collections of Hot Wheels cars and track and only had to purchase the remaining missing track pieces. The project cost approximately INR 3500 ( approximately £35). By adjusting the leg support during testing they arrived at the best angle which gave them the breakthrough that they could achieve the target. To facilitate variable angles they had to construct an adjustable wooden leg support. While testing the brothers found that the journey of the car through the loops depended greatly on the angle of the platform. This needed strengthening of the platform. The longer the platform, the greater was the weight and bending in the center. Since the track became long it needed to be supported on a firmer wooden platform. "Testing was initially with few loops and as we increased the loops and the length of the track, the project became challenging. Rohan Dayal and his younger brother Rahul Dayal. It took Rohan and Rahul three days to build the adjustable angle wooden platform and assemble the entire track of 10 loops over it. The most loop-the-loops in a Hot Wheels track is 10 and was achieved by Rohan Dayal and Rahul Dayal (both India) in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, on 7 April 2021.
