OK! I should be recording today or tomorrow. Just Trapeze and Undermount. I can’t for the life of me even get close to Lunar Stalls yet, and I can’t regen properly out of Brother Stall yet… ---

I’m about where you are except my brother is landing like a regular brother. It’s not drawing the string in for the stall. And I may never hit that lunar stall…🤣 ---

That’s tough my friend because there is a bearing in that guy. If you were to get a blank to replace the bearing, and it can be done on a Spinstar, then it would be acceptable. Edit: I’ll get you a link to a blank. They’ll only cost a few dollars. ---

Actually, the Spinstar has a transaxle which means in can’t easily be blanked. So the Butterfly option just gets more and more sparkly. ✨ ---

Playing on the axle/might play strange maybe some chapstick if it needs more response. Honestly the gap and starbursts are really aggressive on the spinstar it might be hard to do stalls. Another option would be a “spacer” to lock the transaxle against the seat. An o ring or something plastic or even a few small bearing shields stacked as shims till the lock the transaxle from spinning free Obviously a butterfly would work a tad better but I support the attempt to mod what you have lol ---

An o-ring small enough to fit down in the hole the transaxle goes in would definitely stop that transaxle from turning and make it a fixed axle. When you remove the transaxle all together you leave behind open space that the string can get pulled into. This can create weird feeling and possibly unpredictable play. But as you’ve seen…it can be done. 😁 ---
