Poll: Do you take care of your beyblade equipment?

kbuno50 · Feb 23 2012 02:06 AM

Do you take care of your beyblade equipment? Do you wash it, clean it, fix it, etc. , what do you use?

Mickey · Feb 23 2012 02:22 AM

I don't wash my beys because they will rust. However, I wash my attack stadium often to clean it from the dust and other stuff it collects over time.

Beyblades don't get rusty

I try not to drop any of my beys or let them spin on concrete. So far, over the past year, I have only had a split ES and a snapped Pegasus II face... ES was dropped on concrete, while hitsugiya split the face with Blitz...

ModdedAPegasus · Feb 23 2012 02:42 AM

i have only broke a fake beyblade off 3 floors and the metal wheel (it was made out of clay). i beyed a storm capricorn(hasbro real) off a 4 floor building and the beyblade didn't broke but i lost it when my friend threw it back to me. Can some one tell me how to get spray paint of a metal wheel?

DefStamina88 · Feb 23 2012 02:49 AM

I can tell you what isn't a good way to get paint off; sandpaper. Wears down the wheel too much.

*aquariomaster* · Feb 23 2012 05:22 AM

kinda i broke my string launcher the T looking thingy you pull broke in half

my stadium is trash to rough i guess

and i broke my CS it bounced on my freinds fake blitz (left spin) and broke

guess my blader spirit is to strong lol

If you want to strip the paint, just get a can of paint stripper, follow the instructions and be cautious.

I think it was Kei who did that with his Meteo, Pegasis and Libra, and it came out really well.

Janstarblast · Feb 23 2012 07:59 AM

I care quite a lot about my beys.
First off, they are stored in a way that would prevent them from catching dust.
I have them in a box which previously held Vochelle Chocolate-coated Almonds. This box, has been wrapped with Bubble Wrap. This whole thing, has been put into a plastic bag.
So this is how well I store them. Tongue_out

Now, I also clean and polish them every now and then. I usually soak a few parts (sticker-less parts only) and have them dried soon enough.
I regularly clean the tips with a soft cloth(to prevent them from wearing down).

I don't see any need for washing a beyblade. I like to have mine battered up so it looks meaner!

Hazel · Feb 23 2012 10:02 AM

Anyone who uses rubber tips needs to clean both the tips and their Stadia frequently... shmutz from both sides can drastically affect performance...

UGottaCetus · Feb 23 2012 10:37 PM

I wipe my wheels off occasionally, and clean the stadium every once in a while... don't really mess with CW/track scratches or dents, I refer to them as "battle scars." Only had a few parts break, but they were good ones like my CH120 and my Befowl and Cetus CW.

killjimmy · Feb 23 2012 10:58 PM

Easy way to clean your rubber tips before you launch them is to lick it with your tongue, then wipe it with your finger. Works everytime!

kbuno50 · Feb 23 2012 11:00 PM

Eww, I just scrape it with my fingernail.

Hazel · Feb 23 2012 11:51 PM

Yeah, scraping with the fingernail is the best way that I've found to do it other than using alcohol swabs, but that takes more time and dries out the rubber.

I am not licking something that is frequently scooting around on my floor.

Kai-V · Feb 24 2012 02:30 AM

Or rubbing all over Hasbro's toxic paint. What the hell.

The best way to take care of your equipment, unfortunately : not use them.

Mars · Feb 24 2012 02:38 AM

Hasbro's paint is toxic? Or was that sarcastic? If it is toxic I might be in a bit of trouble, LOL.

Hazel · Feb 24 2012 02:51 AM

I would not regularly ingest it either way just to be certain... I highly doubt it is food-grade.

Kai-V · Feb 24 2012 02:53 AM

Is there any paint that is not toxic ? In any case, it is certainly not that non-toxic type that Hasbro uses.

Hazel · Feb 24 2012 02:55 AM

Non-toxic paints are used a lot in the toy industry now, actually, ever since the really massive Lead Paint incident a few years ago.

Hasbro should be using them on at least some of their stuff, as they have painted figures(non-Beyblade).
