ARROW ELITE Yo-yo Moving Parts- LOCTITE?

General Yo-Yo
1

Hi ,

Some Arrow Elite yo-yo’s have moving parts.

Maybe I want to try with some Loctite, as per an old video I saw on the web ?

Before potentially killing my beloved yo-yo , I want to put all chances on my side, and know where I should put the Loctite ?

( I made a short video, private link, do not share pls, of that moving , and also made a close-up on which point I should put a drop or Loctite ? (1-2-3 ?)
I think the moving part is Number 3

Also , on my Arrow Elite with no moving parts, the perfect one, the blue one, seems on the macro photo , that the parts are a little different ?

Not only the color (black vs natural), but also seems that there is one extra part on the (the moving part yo-yo ) ??

Any help would be welcome .

Also if ordering a fourth Arrow Elite, would it be possible to choose the (pic 2) batch ?

Any help is welcome
Kind Regards
Lee

If the yoyo has a problem that makes it unusable I would contact the yoyo retailer that sold you that yoyo. You could also try contacting yoyofactory and give them the video on how the yoyo doesn’t work.

This is why its recommended to not take yoyos apart frequently. One always risk stripping or inducing vibe. Yeah they are meant to come apart for maintenance, but its only a matter of time before user error can cause damage.

From the first second parts were moving, right outside the box

I ordered on Amazon, I should have returned it within the 30 days.
Too late now.
I’m also not willing to make a “big case” about an under 20USD object.
But if there is a quick and easy way to fix (Loctite), I’ll take it.
I will also stop ordering Arrow Elite from Amazon and order directly from Yo-yo Expert or Yo-yo Factory.
