PROFI DYNAMIC XXL
■The new Dynamic XXL obstacle course construction set is guaranteed to be even faster, higher and more action-packed than ever. At
just under one meter high with a track up to 5.60 meters long, plenty of new functions, new components and switches, this construction
set guarantees unlimited hours of entertainment. You can build new, fast courses thanks to the new flex tubes. The balls race across a
mechanical teeter-totter into different track circuits. They then speed through a loop on their way down before going over the quarter pipe,
through the spring loop and other obstacles. New: even more interaction is possible thanks to the ability to influence the ball’s route. A
mechanical switch can be used to adjust the course of the flex-rails, and an additional switch with switch lever determines the direction of
the course. The balls can also be stopped at a stopping point and then released. The balls are then brought back up to the top by the chain
lift which is operated by an XS motor. Three different ball obstacle courses can be built, providing a wide variety of construction alternatives.
Expanding the construction set with the PLUS set: the Bluetooth Control Set and Motor Set XS (up to two) make it possible to control
obstacles such as the switches or stopping point using a Bluetooth controller or smartphone/tablet.
Includes XS motor, 2x Rainbow LEDs, 2x flex tubes 360, 7x 90° curves, 5x 180° curves, 7x high-speed flex-rails, 8x flex-rails 90, 16x flex-rails
180, 8x balls, 2x cross-overs, 2x rotary funnels, 9V battery tray (battery not included). Ideal additions: all construction sets from the Dynamic
Line, Motor Set XS, Bluetooth Control Set, Sound+Lights, LED Set, Accu Set or Power Set.
What does dynamics mean?
■We encounter dynamics everywhere in our daily life and perhaps
no longer even recognize it because we are so used to it! We speak of
dynamics everywhere anything moves.
We experience this in the morning when we get up. We move from our
bed to the bathroom or the breakfast table. We drive or walk to school
or to work. We experience the effects of dynamics in nearly all hobby
sports or see them when we simply watch other people move.
Fun with Physics
Dynamics provides us with awesome experiences and fun, such as riding your bike, skiing, skateboarding, playing ball or riding a roller
coaster. Dynamics therefore enriches our lives, as expressed in the motto - Fun with Physics!
Try to think where you encounter dynamics in your everyday life!

Dynamic XXL components
The flex-rails are flexible in all directions. When building an ob-
stacle course you can be as creative as you like and build special,
crazy curves, loops and jumps. The flex-rails are available in 90 mm
and 180 mm lengths.
Tip: If the flex-rails are bent after disassembly,
they can be straightened by clamping them on one
of the base plates for a short time. This straightens
the bend.
The high speed flex-rails with a length of
180 mm and with higher side edge allow the balls
to reach maximum speed in curves.
The flex tube is 360 mm long. The two ends can
rotate in their holders, allowing you to be creative
in the design of your courses.
A lever is attached in the middle of the cross-
over to guide the balls alternately to the flex-rail
attached on the right or left.
The 90° curve allows you to change direction
quickly and build tight curves simply.
The cross-over locking lever is installed in
the sub-frame of the cross-over. It is driven by a
rack and pinion with locking mechanism, enabling
manual adjustment of the cross-over.
The 180° curve lets young architects change the
direction of the ball in a tiny space.
Once caught in the rotary funnel, the balls whirl
to the center and fall through the hole on to the
next rail.
The magnetic ball holder is attached to the
chain and transports the steel balls back up.

All obstacle courses shown in the assembly instructions include
an elevator. This consists of a driven chain fastened to a mag-
netic ball holder.
As soon as a ball holder passes by a steel ball in the model's
magazine, it is attracted by the magnet and transported to
the top. At the top the ball is pushed off and rolls through the
obstacle course.
All obstacle courses shown in the assembly instructions include
two flex tubes.
The flex tube is 360 mm long. The two ends can rotate in their
holders, allowing you to be creative in the design of your courses.
The assembly instruction assembly tips show how to mount
the end piece on the flex tube and how to attach the end piece
in the holder.
Assembly steps:
1. Assemble the spring launcher according to the picture and
parts list as shown in the following pictures. The spring launcher
consists of the following components:
1x 32 064
1x 35 049
1x 37 237
1x 38 415

obstacle courses
Elevator
Tip:
If the balls are not picked up and
transported by the elevator correctly,
you can readjust the position of the
ball magazine.
Flex tube 360
Tip:
After initial assembly, engage the
flex tube end piece into the holder.
If you then want to remove the flex
tube from the holder or reattach
it, you can do this using a spring
launcher. The components are in
the construction set.

2. Slide the holder of the flex tube onto the spring launcher.
3. Attach the plastic shaft through the building block and turn
the flex tube or the flex tube end piece until the plastic shaft
can be inserted into the recess of the end piece.
4. Now the end piece can no longer rotate in the holder. This
lets you either unscrew and remove the flex tube from the end
piece or thread the flex tube into the end piece.
Tip:
Thread the flex tube into the end piece
as far as possible so that no gap is
visible between the flex tube end and
the end piece.
Tip:
The end piece allows the flex tube
to rotate in the holder. Due to the
geometry of the flex tube end, it is
possible that a small gap may be
present or a small part of flex tube may
protrude at the end despite assembling
the pieces correctly. In this case you
can twist the flex tube in the holder so
that it no longer affects the balls as
they roll by.

■This action-packed obstacle course includes many dynamic obstacles as well as two switches and a
stopping point. Below are a few tips on how to ensure that the individual obstacles work correctly.
After the ball has been knocked off the
magnetic ball holder it rolls
into the automatic cross-over
which routes all incoming balls
alternately to the left and right.
The mechanical switch can
be used to adjust the route
of the flex-rails.
The separate PLUS XS Motor Set can be used to
extend and power the switch. The assembly instructions pro-
vide information on how to install this set in obstacle course 1.
Obstacle course 1
Automatic cross-over
Tip:
Ensure that all components in the
automatic cross-over are installed
and aligned correctly and that the
cross-over moves easily. Otherwise it
may not operate correctly.
Switch
Tip:
Make sure that the flex-rail profile or
slider is always pushed up against
the end stop.

7
After the automatic cross-over, the route is very steep, ensur-
ing that the ball will accelerate to the speed required to fly
though the loop.
The ball rolls through the obstacle course - but then the flex-
rail stops suddenly and the ball falls downward. The next rail
catches the ball and immediately lets it continue to roll down
in the opposite direction.
The ball rolls through the loop, which suddenly ends. The ball
flies through the air and drops into the rotary funnel.
Tip:
If the slider moves on its own, you
can increase the friction by sliding
the V15 corner building block toward
the angle girder.
Loop
Tip:
The flex-rail profile must be
assembled as shown in the picture
to ensure that balls roll correctly
through the loop. The position of the
long edge at the beginning of the
flex-rail profile and the position of
the high speed flex-rail profile are
important. The long edge is indicated
by yellow marks in the picture.
Drop with change
of direction
Tip:
The next flex-rail must be correctly
aligned with the previous flex-rail so
that the ball is caught after it falls
and can continue to roll.

The rotary funnel is installed in two places in obstacle course 1.
In the rotary funnel the balls from the routes again merge on the
subsequent cross-over and flex-rail.
The balls can be stopped at the stopping point and then released.
The separate PLUS BT Control Set accessory can be used to extend and control the stopping point remotely.
The assembly instructions provide information on how to install this set in obstacle course 1.
Tip:
Ensure that all components for the
rotary funnel mount as well as the
subsequent cross-over and flex-rail
are aligned correctly so that the ball
falls through the hole directly onto
the next members.
Rotary funnel
Stopping point
Tip:
Make sure that the flex-rail profile or
slider is always pushed up against
the end stop.
Tip:
Make sure that building block 5
with connector 30 is connected
flush at the top with the 15x30x5
construction plate with three slots.
This will ensure that the stopping
point functions correctly.

The switch with switch lever are used to determine the direction
of the course.
The separate PLUS XS Motor Set can be used to extend and
power the switch. The assembly instructions provide information
on how to install this set in obstacle course 1.
The balls roll from the flex-rail onto the quarter pipe, which con-
sists of three construction plates. It is inclined slightly upward
and to the side so that the balls drop into the rotary funnel after
changing direction.

■This model particularly suited for those who are new to using the ball
obstacle course.
The balls are transported up by the elevator and after passing through the
cross-over roll down two different routes to the rotary funnel. Here the
balls collect and roll back on a flex-rail to the ball magazine.
In the rotary funnel the balls
from both routes again
merge on the subsequent
flex-rail.

The ball rolls through the obstacle course - but then the flex-
rail stops suddenly and the ball falls downward. The next rail
catches the ball and immediately lets it continue to roll down
in the opposite direction.
The rotary funnel is installed in two places in obstacle course 3.
In the rotary funnel the balls from the routes again merge on
the subsequent cross-over sub-frame and the flex-rail.
Drop with change
of direction
Tip:
The next flex-rail must be correctly
aligned with the previous flex-rail so
that the ball is caught after it falls
and can continue to roll.
Rotary funnel
Tip:
Make sure that all components
for the rotary funnel mount as
well as the subsequent cross-over
sub-frame and flex-rail are aligned
correctly so that the ball can drop
through the hole directly onto the
next members.
Tip:
Make sure that the cross-over
sub-frame is correctly aligned to
the funnel installed above. If a ball
becomes stuck in the funnel tube
and does not continue rolling, the
cross-over sub-frame may have
shifted. In this case, move the
cross-over sub-frame outward in
the direction of the arrow.

Further tips:
• All Dynamic XXL obstacle course models work best when used on a stable, even and level surface.
• If assembled models no longer work properly after transport it is usually necessary to readjust only individual compo-
nents or sections. Also see the tips for the individual obstacle course.
• If the flex-rails are bent too much after disassembling the model, they can be straightened by clamping them on
the base plate for a short time. This reduces the bending.
• Naturally you can design your own obstacle course with the Dynamic XXL Construction Set. Certainly you can work
out other ingenious designs and other fascinating obstacles and effects.
