Ok, I have a flying panda for off-string, it does not spin very long, the bearings get the gunk from the Friction Stickers. So every new A bearing I put in gets slowed down and gunk in them, even after clean. So I’m thinking new response, or a new off-string. (getting into it) After one Sun like a roll and back, it runs out and I can barely bind. Any Suggestions?? Wish Studio Would Post A LONG detailed post about it :,(. ---

> [@Y0Y0SR2PR0](#): > > Ir pads might help. Those dont fit in a flying panda -\_- Purchase offstring mod spacers from duncan. They make it wider, and add a much more durable response specifically for offstring, which I guarantee wont add any gunk to the bearing whatsoever :wink: Youll have to deal with my one paragraph post for now :(… ---

I see, Is there a groove for Flowable, ect?? Because, when you recess a panda it will become unresponsive, so will it still be responsive? Or should I invest in a Go Big/ Fiesta?? ---

I see the “new pads part” but what kind of pads fit? There is no groove, should I make a groove? And every time I clean it the gunk from Fs’s get into it and to slows down. Also how would I clean spacers? They have some gunk. Thanks Yoyoexpertman :wink: ---

I say just go for a go big or the fiesta. I’m just not a fan of friction stickers at all, but that’s just an opinion. Go big if you play on a lot of hard surfaces and want snappy binds/easier open string binds. Uses narrow c bearing Fiesta if you play on softer surfaces or want longer spin times/more intricate string tricks. Uses normal C bearing ---

Thanks for the recommendation tho ;). this thread was posted 2 days ago. Not exactly a necro But if you don’t mind spending a bit more, I know someone was selling ashiru (injection molded) kamuis on the b/s/t for around $45-50. Best 4a throw I’ve used aside from my milkshake. go big or fiesta xx are both great too though, can’t really go wrong with any of them.
