Why put out a YoYo called RBC then run out of red ones immediately. I think I know why, and it sucks. Why are there no reviews on this YoYo? Very stange. ---

its a very niche kind of yoyo. the people who like this kind of yoyos usually dont consume yoyo review content also. the red ones sold out because they were super popular. ---

Yep I definitely didn’t need to see a review I knew I had to have it and since all modern yoyos are good I knew it wouldn’t be a disappointment. ---

I missed out on the red RBC. However, the orange is very close. It is such a nice yoyo, I purchased two more, a navy blue and a YoyoExpert comemorative. If you like a rsponsive yoyo that can be used for just about any purpose, this is your throw. It is definitely my favorite yoyo. PS. With the blue RBC, I consider myself a blue blood. :wink: ---

The yoyo could be the nastiest color of poop, and having writing on the side that was beyond offensive, and it would still be worth it to me to buy it. It is the best metal responsive on the market, although some would argue the Daytripper/Weekender, which I can understand ---

The idea was to take one my wooden models called the Bloodcell and turn it into a metal responsive yoyo.

It’s different from almost everything out there in that genre (and I’ve tried almost everything). ---

I ordered more red. It’s taking a bit of time in manufacturing! My past yoyo production experience told me to make many different colorways, so the run was split almost evenly amongst the various options. That’s the whole story. ---

Haven’t tried the RBC yet. What I love about the el mijo is that you can play it fixed, responsive and unresponsive. Fixed and responsive are my fav configurations. ---

> [@c.yoyo](#): > > El Mijo has more capabilities than the RBC IMO bro. It does have some additional flexibility with bearing widths and the fixed axle blank. I have both versions of El MiJo and two RBCs and I like all of them, I just like the RBC a little more. Also, if you read through some of the RBC discussions here, while I don’t think anyone’s done a fully unresponsive configuration (which is probably possible with beefcaking), there are a couple of bearing widths available and people have had success running it without a bearing at all, so that the posts act as a fixed axle. ---

RBC is awesome! While the gold won’t play better, it does look cooler… I’d love a run of red so I can do half swaps!
