Yeah true, like Tom Kuhn “turbo discs”. Those are basically circular cloth tape stickers!

We used to use hockey stick tape w/o anything added. Worked ok.

Also, fireballs and raiders need to be lubed regularly. Use a thicker oil like brain lube or 3-in-1 oil.

Ahh yeah I used to do that, then got tired of it. Also I misplaced my bottle somewhere…

Must use brain lube or responsive lube. I will say that the Yomegas of today seem to be made to a lower standard. I bought a x-brain and after a month it stripped out. Got a newer fireball and has same experience as you with the transaxle sliding from side to side like the axle was to long but using lube helped it.
