Recently found out about these Mod Spacers kits that came out in 2012 as per the wiki. Well they quickly turned into an obsession and here we are. One butterfly XT in each color with each color of duncan weight rings. Satin finish and flowable silicone response. They play amazing compared to the stock $5 XT. So much fun. Unique colors too because i tried to dye them all black… but it just made them kinda smoky instead but i dig it. Found someone selling 7 mod spacers kits in 1 pack on ebay. That’s how i got my hands on so many. Lol but there’s a bunch more left, so don’t worry. Can get them from Pro Z’s too. duncan rings are still in stock everywhere. I hunted my local targets to find the XTs, needed to add a little challenge. HIGHLY recommend hunting the bits and building one of these. Just such a cool concept to me using all OEM Duncan bits to take a 5$ throw and turn it into a beast. Once you get them tuned up, they are siiick. 10/10 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/5/3/5535151c63dac53798021d94d9d940e7549d2883.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/6/3/663f4bff4046bd6461109d8ef13c5dc900cffcd6.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/0/5/605ead084c9468008fc892e15e2a8f9af526e3cd.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/c/2/ec2c2f077fbc11684d96cbe3b894f3a92f09ca6f.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/2/d/42d204208bcfa76136f65369524e64a6c440ab99.jpeg) ---

The setup also worked on my Hayabusa, just needed to grab an axel [bolt] about 3mm longer. It’s gotta be around 80g, but a 5a C bearing hayabusa? Come on… that’s rad.

5 years later anyone know where someone could get a pair of these spacers today? I have an itch to get an old pro z setup with them but don’t have the spacers. I didn’t find anything in a quick google that was still in stock but maybe my Duncan sources are lacking. I guess I could snag another pro z but figured I would ask you all first. ---
