Renaissance YoYo Company: Manticore *UPDATE* 5-5-12

Are you making a company?? I an very interested in this design.

UPDATE!!

Specs are the same as before

Diameter 52.41mm
Width 47.79mm
Weight 69-70g

The finish of the yoyo will be tumbled, and the anodize will be impregnated with Teflon, ensuring exceptional grinds.

PM me.

Yes, although it might not be for a few months.

Can’t wait to be a tester!

I really like the colors on this last version. What do you guys think?

I like the company name.

Thanks man!

Who wants to be a tester? You will not get to keep the yoyo, and will get it for a period of 2-3 days in which to record your thoughts about it and then ship it off to someone else. Accepting by PM only. Don’t want this thread cluttered with “Can I be a tester!?”

Requirements

At least 5 buy/sell/trades* with 100% positive feedback**

Have fun

  • You can also do this if you haven’t traded but are well known
    ** You can also be a part of it if you only have one negative out of about 30 successful trades

wow! I really love the shape…is it a super-wide type throw? it looks like it would be one, but not 100% if it is… hopefully I can test it!
nice job!

Kinda like Steamroller wide. It just doesn’t look it. Think a little wider than the Star series/DMII.

I noticed you wanted to impregnate the anodize with teflon, why not just skip the ano and make it teflon coated and dye the teflon purple? I’m only spitballing but if you put teflon into/over the ano wouldn’t it lighten the color up and look hazy or discolored? Unless of course you’re trying to make it look like that. Either way I think purple will look spectacular on it.

I think the look of dyed teflon is great. I think You should consider this for color/finish options.

It shouldn’t affect the color. All though it is the reason I’m not doing splashes.

Also I think coating it with teflon it would eventually chip off, like paint on the outside.

A friends of mine has a canflon lio and it hasnt shown any signs of chipping. But its your yoyo coat it however you like.

Come to think of it, it might actually be cheaper. I’ll have to look into that.

Wildcat just one thought on it, the width is insane. A little too much actually. It seems like even for an expert a bind with this would be a pain in the butt to deal with, so if possible can you try downgrading it to a smaller width?

I was looking at the design again and at the specs. They say that the width is less than the diameter, in the pics we see this isnt the case so im guessing the images are distorted?

Width and gap width are two different things. With a d sized bearing the gap will be fine.

Updated!

Rounded the corners and took off some rim weight

They’re not distorted. The specs are right.

Then its just the pics, I mean the pics tell a diffrent story than the pics, the pics also imply this will be a pretty wide yoyo yet the the specs tell a difeerent story

Probably. The pics are taken from a very close angle, so that’s probably it.
