Best thing is to play with it. No need to mod it! Unless you want to do the hitman mod. Which I haven’t had experience. ---

Flowable silicone? You can do that. ---

You can put flowable silicone in it. Hitman mod. I don’t see why you’d need to mod it though. It seems to me like it’s more than good enough already. ---

Yeah the modding isn’t necessary. The 888 plays great already! ---

Pheenix is right. That’s why the companies like YYJ and YYF make them the way they are. If you even insist on modding them, do a higher brand. Alchemy, Hspin, General-Yo. ---

888 doesnt need it its perfect the way it is but i only siliconed mine cuz i didnt have replacement pads so whatever. But if anything a kk bearing would be good but theres not a big difference. ---

If you want to do some real serious modding, you could reshape it, but that eill probably not end good. ---
