The awesome One Drop guys set me up with some new axle nuts they designed to try out in my delrin yoyos. The nut is a very cool design that was intended to serve as both an axle nut and a bearing seat (the new is on the right, the Y-Factor style nut is on the left). ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/6/0/660156e63b8021134fb380b8b48b51d167e91722.jpeg) For an aluminum yoyo, it’s a brilliant design. For a delrin yoyo, the walls have to be too thin to use the new nut as a bearing post. But David of OD thought that it would look cool as a hub, and I agreed. Unfortunately, I’ve not had much time in the past month to experiment, but I had a free day today so I went to work on a design that someone had asked me to adapt. Boy did I miss the mark! ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/b/c/dbc911e424623de23b868c68d8da751e59f62df0.jpeg) Diameter: 55mm Width: 44mm Weight: 77 grams (yes, Seventy7 … my calculations, it seems, were erroneous) Response/Bearing: Crucial pad spacers, C bearing, ghost pad The fellow who asked me to do this was looking for something in the 64-ish gram range. (Sorry Ben! I’ll have to go back to the drawing board …) In any event, even though it didn’t come out according to plan, it’s a blast to play and I think the nuts look great as hubs. Thanks for those OD guys! I’m looking forward to experimenting with them further, and to giving Alex’s new axle system a whirl. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/2/0/c2070aabc1203d693606328813feddb4566d5020.jpeg) Comparison shot with an FHZ: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/c/7/ac72aed6cc6d04ecfb6bd2706320d441ec733f2b.jpeg) ---

Thanks guys! These are a lot of fun to do when it’s just one or two, and there isn’t any pressure for them to be perfect. I imagine that might change if I were to do these for pay, especially with the exacting standards so many folks in the yoyo community seem to have. I mean, you guys have seen often enough how people totally flip out and make 10 threads if their new polycarb yoyo has a little vibe :D. ---
