Funny, in the auto-business ‘lemon’ has negative connotations.

This is highly innovative marketing by @anon5341354 . Create hype; then tap that hype to fund development costs for a new throw.

Nice.

Not just hype, there’s a few v1’s out there and this little guy is a killer throw for certain! 🙂

To be fair, I think I kind of created the hype. Glen was very hesitant at first, it seemed to me. I had to REALLY convince him that it’s THAT good. Not that he wasn’t aware, but I think he just wasn’t sure if he had a bias, maybe?

V1 is not perfect, but it’s absolutely awesome and the potential is obvious, once you throw it. I’m telling you, NO current existing yoyo, that I’m aware of, feels this good on the rollout/bind.

Glen is always a bit self critical. He was very hesitant to have us even mention it and was on the verge of scrapping the whole thing but I think he is on to something and with a few tweaks it’ll be perfect.

My thought is would it be possible to have a 5mm mr85 in this sucker somehow…

Yeah maybe 2 2.5mm but idk how they would work out. Might get a bearing stuck in the well or something

Haha yes. Thats why I called this the Flying Lemon. I wasn’t particularly confident it might turn out right, so I figured ‘Lemon’ was appropriate.

I have not chosen yet.

I need the manufacturer to return with a quote first.

So I have come to the conclusion that a beefcaked version will not work. I’m currently tweaking the design to have recessed pads to remove its tendency to be tug responsive and will order shieldless, lightly lubed and more precise 4mm wide MR85s.

Here is the final CAD

\*It will be 7075 AL (citris yellow)

\*50 X 44 x 58g.

\*It will have a 15mm axle

\*the pads will be recessed .4mm

\*flat 5x8x4 bearing. (NOT BEEFACKED)

I’ll be letting you know who will snag a prototype once I have a quote back.
