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. ---

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

Silicone grease is basically what the name says, grease made from silicone. Readily available at home depot, you put it inside the bearing.
