And now I have discovered an unopened Profire axle, pads, string baggie.

Ah okay, thank you for the clarification. I suppose the “oreo gade” was simply a factory color swap.

I had thought that it was modified in some way (gap, shape, weight etc) from the original renegade.

Did you ever end up selling any of your awesome collection? I’m pretty sure I PM’d you on reddit to come on over to the forums to get those bad boys appraised. Glad you stuck around my friend!

Wait that could be played with a bearing or a wooden axle?

Although the Turbo Bumble Bee and derivatives were normally associated with a ball bearing they often came with optional items; a fixed wooden axle, a fixed brass axle and a sliding brass assembly.

For the ball bearing it was also possible to adjust the gap with different thicknesses of bearing seat. These continued into Duncan’s ownership of the design.

Wow dude you really know your stuff! I had no idea there were actually different sized bearings seats to adjust gap width. That’s freaking awesome.

Honestly wish they would.

All it needs is a size c bearing and updated response, and the ability to go halfspec for people that want responsive play.

what’s the appeal with the size C vs the good old size A bearing? im a little out of touch with this stuff, becuase the last time I was into yoyo, I don’t even think anyone had put a size C bearing in something yet. or if they did I did not know about it.

I would hope that it would get a more thorough rework than that If you’ve ever pulled a Renegade apart then you’ll know that they are hardly objects of precision engineering and fine balance.

Observe the internal weighting ring on this early version… 🫤

Size C is just so standard across the board. It gives you the ability to get the gap bigger for unresponsive, but still use a halfspec to play like an A size bearing - the Renegade uses a size B that’s commonly used for loopers. No one used an A sized back then until YYJ I think. The renegade was the bridge from oldschool to midschool.

I would rather a new version of the renegade be pushed towards 1A tricks over looping, since that’s kind of it’s history and heritage. Making a new Renegade with a Size B bearing is kinda pointless to me, and going with a Size A kinda feels like it would be the same vibe as a Duncan Freehand.

That’s kind of the reason I want them to remake it. I don’t want something fancy, or something expensive, or for them to make something new. All I want is the same exact renegade with an updated response/bearing system.

Personally, I put the same type of rubber rings under the caps of my Butterfly XT, I think it’s genius.

That’s not rubber though. That’s a length of metal rod, formed into (roughly) a circle… give or take. I think the term “crude” would be generous.
