Hey there i was thinking about modif my Magic T5 Overlord, i was getting to the yoyo community and i just bought this yoyo. I was thinking about buying a responsive one but its gonna double the money to buy another yoyo, so i bought an unresponsive one. But it was hard to play an unresponsive when you’re a beginner. So i wanna modif my yoyo, from your experience can you modif your Magicyoyo T5 Overlord to become a responsive yoyo? ---

I can’t find my Overlord right now but I’m pretty sure it has a very short axle so you should be able to purchase a narrow C bearing to replace the wide bearing which will make it responsive. Or you could purchase thick lube to put in the wide bearing to make it semi-responsive. It’s a heavy feeling yoyo and personally I would not want to play it responsive. Welcome to the Forums! ---

Where do you live? You may be able to pick up a cheap responsive like a Duncan Butterfly XT for less than the price of a new bearing and axle. ---

No, You can not put a narrow bearing in a T5. The inner posts, where the axle is screwed in, are too long. ---

These “nipples” are a bit too long. If you screw your yo-yo together they will touch before the gap is tight enough for a narrow bearing. A shorter axle won’t change that. Sorry. ---

Learn how to bind since you have a pretty decent unresponsive yoyo and save up your money for a responsive yoyo. ---

Maybe some stores in Indonesia sell some decent responsive yoyos. Most likely if it is very, very cheap it will be garbage. ---

You don’t need a responsive to learn most basics. ---

You could modify it, if you had a dremel tool and the guts to grind the bearing axle posts down. I don’t reccomend doing that to your only or favorite yoyo, but, i did that to a magicyoyo aurora, so i could put in a half spec. If ur realy careful, you could grind just enough to balance the halfs a little maybe. BUT, 30 ish bucks and some sketchy dremel work and bam! Light up responsive that runs amazingly for what it is. ![1660261953624824059560680478797](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/a/a/6aacb8163a0c1fae7540a2c8c5c40778a5c4e5bb.jpeg) ---

Other option, try lubing the bearing, but it has some downsides. It can be cleaned again if you dont like the lube. ---
