I scored the Red Reactor on ebay for under $20, so I’d make him a deal.

That’s definitely a fantastic deal.

I am kind of looking for a Reactor.

The financial situation at home is kind of funny, we aren’t struggling, but we don’t have enough for me to earn some money without feeling bad about it later.

thanks for the offer, but I can’t right now, I hope you understand.

Does anyone have the measurements for Butterfly Cap Stickers again? I want to make sure I have them right.

.95 inches / 24.2 mm diameter for the butterfly cap

Hope that’s helpful

Was just reminded of this on the subject of shims for an XT you can use a 1/4" drill bit and drill a hole in an old credit card and then cut out that hole if you understand what I mean.

Did my first “Mod” today, I satined a Freehand One!

I didn’t have a drill, so I just threw the yo-yo, and sanded it while it was spinning. :rofl:

Love it. Used to have an OG Bolt and some Boltlegs with a satined finish. I loved the way they grinded.

Well done

I’ll add a video of me performing some arm grinds on it, it works great for that now!

(Keep in mind, I’m a bit of an arm grind amateur)

Yes, that is the biggest issue.

Before I satined it, it had a beautiful mural, painted by Michelangelo himself.

I seem to recall he had a hard time painting that small, so he painted it very large, and with the assistance of aliens, they shrunk it down and stuck it onto the yo-yo.

The detail was immaculate, you could see the individual pieces of pepperoni on the pizza slices; you could see each one of Puff, the Magic Dragon’s scales; you could even see who framed Roger Rabbit! Or, at least that’s what Michelangelo told me, I’m blind as a dog.

It was glorious, but I sanded it all away. Michelangelo was rolling in his grave! Though it seems he hasn’t moved since I ripped that first sweet arm grind. I believe he is content now.

I like the results, though I regret using a yo-yo that would’ve made me a billionaire otherwise.

On that note, I’ve nicknamed it the “Icecube.”

You, sir, have earned much respect with this reference.
