Inspired by @d42kn355 ‘s bst post looking for the AA club Go, is it just as simple as swapping the guts? Are they sold separately or would I need to get 720s? Do you just pull the axles out with pliers?

Durfee -
As explained to me by Sean Lee -
“find someone to buy the bodies from discard store and replace the axle/spacer/bearing with 720 parts. the only difference is they measure the spacers to replicate specific setups.”
And then Chi Him Yip let us know -
“Just a heads up, these are all measured with high precision, getting the body from discard and changing it yourself could make the yo-yos feel very different”
Mind you, this was in regards to the precisely set AA Club International Edition Go’s.
So yeah, this would definitely work with just a set of blackcats or go’s.
Use a rubber pad and a pliers to remove the axle from a standard 720.
Be sure not burr up the axle.
I havent found a place to buy 720 axles separately unfortunately.
Hope this helps!
Also… do you have a pair of Go’s? lol I’d love a set and can’t find those orange ones or black cats anywhere!

Thank you so much for this!
And unfortunately I don’t, i just had this idea occur to me after seeing your post. I had planned on getting some 720s at some point but after seeing your bst I thought it’d be a lot cooler and more unique to make my own pseudo 720s. I’m sure they’ll be a restock of black cats and gos at some point (@YoYoExpertGarrett ?) I wish I had known about the AA Gos beforehand.
Have you tried the Sunrises yet? I’m enjoying them much more than my Initiators.
Edit: also wanted to add that there isn’t a whole lot of 1A yo-yos I’m looking forward to so I don’t have an issue dropping a decent amount of cash on a 2A pet project.

I was thinking of doing the same when I first saw the Go and Black Cats. I love my orange 720, but I’d like something different to pair it with, and I don’t really like many of the other 720 colors. I have a translucent red/black cap 720… Meh, it’s alright. Doesn’t look great next to the orange one.
How do the Sunrises compare to the 720?

This isn’t a direct quote about them in comparison but in regards to the Sunrise bearing’s effect on play, so most of this probably applies. I don’t own 720s yet so I can’t compare.

> Specifically to Sunrise I find the biggest difference is a very real ‘snappiness’ off each loop. In some ways it feels easier to control as you loop faster. You also can feel it hit the end of the string more in my opinion. There is just something really pleasing about how they control.

It’s a single piece of nylon, which is part of the transaxle setup for the Blackcat. Much cheaper than a bearing.
