My entry…Lunars didn’t quite make the cut as I’m absolutely terrible at them. So instead, I threw in a “donut hole” into my little combo 🙂

If you do land all 4 in different videos do you mind just letting us know on the last of the videos. That’ll help us make sure we count the second entry. We will do our best to make sure it’s all accurate but mistakes will  
Inevitably happen through the month.

I’ll try to get Mysto Set on camera by the end of February, only landed the whole combo once and I didn’t expect to at all so wasn’t filming.  
Well done @Jerrod and everyone else who nailed that one.

Looks great  
Do you mind if i ask how you get the shields of your bearings  
I purchased an extra bearing for my RBC so i could glue it.  
I can get shields off of a C bearing, but i tried for an hour on the Tiny one. no luck.

Cheers

I tried to get my shields off for awhile with no luck. I think they might be pressed in instead of held in with a c clip. I just put regular super glue right on top of the shield, using a tooth pic, kinda similar to how you do lube with a pin, making sure some got into the little holes in the shield and it worked like a charm.

If you don’t want to glue your bearing, I’ll be right back with a link to a spacer the exact size as the.bearing. Works great as a blank!
