Quick 1 beer mod on a quicksilver crown. Solid crowns make little sense so me, you can’t easily balance the top, and you can’t store your string in it. So anyways I got this new quicksilver and I had an old plastic trompo grande so I felt safe to save the original crown (in case Mark asks) and swap it. Not the cleanest cut but I can touch it up later. Spin tops are coming back, mod your tops. ![IMG_20231017_130631575](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/9/a/c9aa947c5f45321ab11065bbf60c059cb3e06db1.jpeg) ![IMG_20231017_192715496](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/2/c/82c6834fea46c6eceb3c4e42ce01e1b9d757d7c8.jpeg) ---

The piece of cap removed weighs a little under 2.5 g. More than I would have guessed, but I do like the advantages of having it open. ---

I did this a few years back to a short circuit. Cut top, weight ring and a satin finish. Plays great. ![IMG_1040](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/b/c/5bc7f59091c2ef0b1095a4751222a36452bde6a5.jpeg) ![IMG_1039](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/e/d/1edf65fbe69ed9205f7225cb9e91a630ed9bf226.jpeg) ---
