Been EDCing the Workhorse since I got it.

It received its first rubs and dings today.


I Love this Off Road color way. The dings and rubs just camouflage right in!

Set up = 4mm wide D bearing and the Throw Yo string it came with. 4mm wide D bearing is my happy place on this throw.

I meant to do Kwijibo to show that you can do all of that yet still hop it off the string without it snagging. I just need to get that last hop, when I do land it… it ends up starting to respond and ends up in DON stall. I am just super impressed. I’m running the 5mm touched with just enough black moly to make it respond super smooth.

What mods are you doing for 0a on the wheel? I have a fixed axle wheel, that I thought was stock, that plays amazing. I wonder if it’s actually modded. I got it secondhand so I have no idea.

I got some 4mm D bearings on your recommendation and it’s made my experience so much better!

The Workhorse is currently my EDC as well. So good.

Is there any additional parts I would need if I wanted to try a 4mm D?

Sounds like it’s all the rage

Just these! 10pcs Miniature Ball Bearings, MR115-2RS 5x11x4mm Steel Bearings for 3D Printers, Quadcopters: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

The axle that comes with the Workhorse works just fine with them.

BTW, @Pun1sh3R, do you happen to have a similar source for C bearings?

Oooo with rubber shields too? This is awesome, thank you for this

Are you folks greasing these, lube, running dry?

They come pre-lubed. I’m going to de-sheild them and add some silicon grease soon.

if yall want bearings with rubber shield options that come responsive as heck caked with grease already, fast eddy bearings is a great source

lol same, and the one hub locked up from too many pull starts. I disassembled it and looked at it under my scope, I had melted the bearing cage lmao. I was able to get it going again, but I was pretty surprised it built up that much heat! Unfortunately I don’t think the bearing can be removed from the hub, but I was able to get the shield off the one side of it

I think the starburst is just very small, and the bearing needs more lube, all the bearings are bone dry

I still love it lol

Agreed! It’s such an odd little yo-yo that I can’t help but love it.

I may have to attempt to dremel out a groove and put some Permatex in it. I’ll probably ruin it, but it’s worth a try!

Thanks brother… that’s all I’ve got. :rofl:

I will have to go back through my Amazon orders.

Just put them in. They come pre lubed. A little responsive at first, but break in fairly quick. I have not added any lube to mine.

Got my work horse yesterday and after using it for a bit I it has gotten very unresponsive. Mine has a concave bearing in it. I bought mine second hand (but unused I think), did they come this way? Seems like the gap is wide too when compared to the Weekender or Origen. Are the bearings you posted a bit more narrow? Just trying to get more snap out of the Workhorse as mine doesn’t seem to have much even with Super Lube grease added. I really like the shape, finish and feel in the hand. Hoping to get it dialed in a bit more.
