So I recently got into fixed axle or 0a play and I really like it but the only problem is that these fixed axle yo-yos or 0a throws are a little out of my budget so I found a butterfly xt and wanted to mod it using flowable silicone around the starburst response system. Does anybody know it this mod would work ??

You mean like squirt silicone on the starburst or you mean like remove starburst and create a groove which you then fill with silicone? If it’s the latter then will work well.

Use the tutorial @G2_Jake made a while back. Recess with a credit card.

Thanks That helps a lot 
Just fill the bearing with silicone grease, that will make the response more snappy.
Also, the standard Butterfly absolutely rips 0A as well.

Sry I’m kind of new to this stuff in Not really the mod type but what’s silicone grease and do I put it on the bearing itself ??
Silicone grease is basically what the name says, grease made from silicone. Readily available at home depot, you put it inside the bearing.

I started learning 0A on a XT. Then I got a Butterfly and now I don’t use the XT anymore.
