That’s a Japan Nats ed. Hayabusa. Old school 4A throw. Now a massive 5A throw. VERY fun. ---

I’m looking to get a set of those aluminum weight rings. I can’t seem to find’em anywhere. Does anyone have some they’d be willing to part with? ---

After about 30 minutes the thick lube gets worked out and it becomes very unresponsive. Like, hook and brent stole are pretty easy. It’s a highwalled, semi responsive, starburst response, but capable. While I was at PNWR, I was walking around making almost everyone I talked to try this. Some forum people got to try it out too. Keiran Cooper almost landed rancid milk first try, and laughed because it spun out on the last hop through. Andre and Eric both smiled and started seeing what it could do, and asked about the mods. Seth Peterson thought it was funny, busted out some really neat tricks, and recommended I talked to the Duncan booth. So I showed it to Sean Perez, and he also got a kick out of it. Spencer Berry thought it was funny. Honestly, if you want a great yoyo ice breaker at a competition, mod a yoyo and make people try it! I played this goofy thing all weekend, more than any of the yoyos I bought/traded. ---

I did one with the mod spacers like further up the post. Couldn’t find the weight rings for it though. Did the metal freehand caps fit right in? ---

Yeah the rings are impossible to find now. I’m fairly certain i bought the last of the stock, but the meal caps are better, fit and are much easier to find ---

Doing some fiddling tonight and found out that the mod spacers also fit the freehand. I just need to find a longer axle. ![1000037258](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/3/a/53a5d2745e6ff3b70e2d69ea23f36d2a03629ef0.jpeg) ![1000037257](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/d/d/6ddd13758bcf04ccb00ea82b757fd3c3d3e89d2d.jpeg) ---

I found a long screw at the hardware store today and cut it down into an axle. It is complete now, vibes a little bit but so did the butterfly before it. ![1000037325](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/e/9/fe90e4257276560c0aef3847d26b2786effbde17.jpeg) [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/modded-butterfly-xt-using-only-oem-duncan-parts-d/373031.md?page=1)
