I ordered one of Doc Pop’s The Thing, I like responsive throws. I started looking for more info and found the version 2 on Toybania’s sight, this got me thinking which version Doc is selling? I don’t see any info on the version 1. Also what are the differences? Thanks ---

Doc pops version is the first release but with a Titanium hub instead of aluminum. ---

I asked him about that, and he said there are some differences, but it is not exactly like v1 or v2, so it might be considered v3. Sort of it’s own thing. It looks to me like the thickness of the rims is lessened from v2. That and a titanium hub. ---

@DocPop what grease would you recommend to get it back to the response it was set up with? Mine’s getting a little un-responsive. ---

It’s the traxxas 1647 silicone grease. Usually a couple dollars. Might find it at a hobby shop that sells a lot of high end RC cars, and it’s on amazon too. ---

Hey, sorry I’m late here, but it sounds like all the questions have been answered. If not, let me know. To recap, the Doc Pop edition Thing is most similar to the V1 Thing, but with titanium hubs (instead of aluminum). The grease I personally use is Traxxas 1647 silicone grease. Thick grease works best for this style, avoid using oil for response. ---

Wow that’s enough to last several life times. All I got in hand right now is half a thing of yyf thick lube. No idea if the two are similar. Then again I’ve been known to use whatever I got in hand for my responsive yo-yos like sewing machine oil I “borrow” from the wife or some 3 in one if I’m desperate. ---

This stuff is great for modern responsive too. It doesn’t last quite as long in the bearing as silicone grease does, but it’ll do the trick. Are you looking to sell that box? If so, how much? [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/doc-pops-the-thing/371347.md?page=2)
