Is it possible to remove the clutch system completely from a yoyo like Yomega Brain and have it replaced with a ball bearing with spacers for looping? All I really want is the caps but as you can see, they aren’t completely circular caps like most of the other yoyos. For some reason, these have 4 rectangular groves. ---

It would be easier just to get a pair of Raider’s and probably less hassle and cost. But, if you remove the rubber ring on the transaxle, I think that may disable the functionality of the clutch. I thought the purpose of the XBrain series was to be a switchable clutch(on/off). ---

Yeah I read that you can do that, but I kinda want to turn into an adjustable gap in case the gap it currently has doesn’t do well with me. ---

You can put Duncan spacers in the recesses. I did it a while ago just to prove it can be done. I ended up switching it back though. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/f/6/ef6d8db79236ab1cc7268c665509cf0466315cd3.jpeg) ---

Yomega caps are sonic welded to the body. You probably won’t get them off w/o breaking them. > [@BlacknBlue](#): > > All I really want is the caps… ---

Alright then. Thanks for the suggestions.
