Please help if you can. My Elysian has been stripped. 😢 Specifically, one side in the threaded holes. Is there anyway to work around this without buying another yoyo?

If you take the axle out and wrap Teflon tape around one side and put it into the side that is stripped there might be enough contact for the yoyo to screw together.

+modman10 Thanks. I should try that before super glue, huh?

I could repair it for $16 shipped.

XD Yeah. But if that does not work, yoyospirit does great work.

Did you buy the Elysian from us? A stripped axle is usually pretty fixable. If you bought it from us recently give us a call or send an email and we can help you out.

If you got it elsewhere or have had the yo-yo for a really long time, I would recommend sending it to yoyospirit.
