The pitch is correct, but I can’t say anything useful about the length. If you already have an extra YYF axle you might as well try it, but if you don’t, it would be cheaper and easier to just go to a hardware store and try different lengths of M4x.7 setscrews.

It’ll probably work. It seems about the right length. The Raptors axle is very short and makes the yoyo prone to stripping.
