i ordered an 888x aqua blue from \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*.com. arent they suppose to have yellow hubstacks? mine have white. it also as a center trac bearing instead of a regular SPEC. just wanted to know, honestly what i have plays fine i just usually dont prefer a center trac or konkave so if i got like the 09 version…whatever, so, just curious. thanks guys!

I don’t think you got ripped off, I heard they are just as good. But does hubstack color really matter? And like I said, I think they are supposed to come with center trac.

Stack color isn’t a good indicator as to what model the yoyo is. Just because they are pictured with grey stacks and come with blue stacks, doesn’t mean that it’s a totally different yoyo. I wouldn’t worry.

The earlier run blue ones shipped with yellow stacks, and the later run ones shipped with white stacks. You’re OK.

My friend bought one at the BAC and got it with a SPEC bearing. And as a lot of other people said, hubstack color doesn’t matter.

Yeah, I fine with them on an 888 though. When I get a Superstar I’m going to take all the hubstacks and hubstack bearings off. That’s what the pros do for maximum stability and the yoyo doesn’t feel weird. I barely use hubstacks too though.

No, you didn’t get ripped off, but it’s kinda weird that it came like that. In fact, I prefer Center-Track bearings over all of the bearings I have tried.

no. only the old 888 (from 2009 i think) had yellow hubstacks. all the new ones have white
