yomega fireball

So i went and got this baby at toys r us and ive noticed it got less grippy. It wont come back as easy. Any help?

also what can i do to this fireball to make it play better.

Lube it?

i only have thin though

Buy thick lube or lube it with thin lube like there’s no tommorow.

This was my first one. the transaxle fireball, right? I put slot car oil under the axle sheath, and it helped alot. I had also tried 3 in one oil with some success. If you just got it, then it’s to soon for the starburst to be worn down. So, if by “better” you mean more responsive, try looping the string around the axle more 2 or 3 times. Directions for this are on the back of the cardboard it came with.

i even put lotion in because it’s not a bearing and i cant do much bad but still nothin.

did you try the multiple loop thing.
