I cannot believe there was not even one draft on this Beyblade ... In any case, I personally do not own it, and most of you probably do not own Sol Blaze either, but I think we can still try getting an article posted about it.
Face: Blaze
The Blaze Face represents the Sun, one of the stars of the galaxy. The letters "S U N" are spread twice around the center.
Clear Wheel: Blaze
Weight: 2.8 grams
Licks of flames like lava shape the Blaze Clear Wheel in a reversed symmetric pattern. This part has found no use in competitive play, however that may be due to the rarity of the Beyblade it comes with. Its weight is not notable though, so despite the formation of bulges near two opposite edges, it does not have the weight to take full advantage of its weight distribution and increase the Flywheel Effect of the combination Blaze would be paired with.
Metal Wheel: Sol
Weight: 31.9 grams
Although relatively heavy, Sol is shaped like a rounder Galaxy with more numerous but less offensive protrusions. This relief on the side of this Metal Wheel still disturbs all the potential it could have in all different types: indeed, its Stamina is terrible, and its Attack and Defense performances are both mediocre. Against the ever-improving top-tier customizations, Sol simply stands no chance.
---Mold Variations---
Two molds of Sol exist, and they can be distinguised very easily. The first mold is the one painted red which came with the more regular release, and the second mold comes with the Eclipse Ver. and the Gold Ver. This second mold possesses six extra reinforced points, which give the Metal Wheel almost 2.5 more grams in weight. It is generally better in all aspects than a first mold of Sol, however this Metal Wheel still cannot accomplish any feats due to the arrival of much more powerful parts in the [[Maximum Series]], most of 4D, and then Synchrom Wheels, which weigh considerably more.
Track: Variable 145
Weight: 3.4 grams
The gimmick of the V145 Track is that its shape is variable. A part with three mostly rectangular wings is inserted in some trails on the sides of V145's core part. Due to the odd number of wings, rotating the removable part by 180 degrees positions its wings over different portions of the core part. In Attack Mode, the removable element goes over the core part's own three wings. Since the latter are mostly shallow, this positioning helps fill the holes and increases the width of the wings, generally strengthening them. In Defense Mode, the removable part's wings cover the actual holes between each of the core part's three wings to form a whole which is almost uniformly circular. Even though V145 was not tested extensively, it can probably only be used in niche combos like other similar parts, e.g. S130. Compared to BD145 and even 230, V145 is therefore extremely outclassed.
Bottom: Around Sharp
Weight: 0.8 gram
AS consists of a sharp tip with a swaying circle around it. In essence, it resembles a WD Bottom with a Sharp tip. However the Around part of the Bottom can move from side to side to embrace the Stadium's angle. As such, AS allows the Beyblade to tilt downward during precession much more and is even said to make the customization it is with to act like a hammer. One of the notable combinations for this Bottom is therefore Basalt Bull 230AS. However, Around Sharp generally inherits the balance issues of every Sharp Bottoms, and consequently delivers poor performance in most types.
Overall:
Sol Blaze V145AS is rare and beautiful, but the majority of its parts have no use competitively. For this reason, '''this Beyblade should only be purchased for collection purposes'''.
