lower the angular speed. (lowering the vertical wouldn't be bad either)

Re: how to make a slanted surface take you up
You just have to fiddle around with the "linear" values to get it to bounce you up just the right amount.
Make sure you have _noClimb set to 0.
Also make sure that you do NOT have a bottom face on the escalator, (a face opposite the escalator). This took me weeks to figure out for my elevators and escalators map. It makes the escalator not work at all.
Attached is an escalator example I found in my bzflag folder. Not sure what it's got, but you may find it useful.

well i was looking forward to a bottom on it but what if i made another mesh object and did all the reverse sides? would it still fail?

Just make the bottom faces .01 units beneath the top faces. That's how I got it to work.
