They are. The nylon its printed from has an abrasive texture and doesn't always like to fit together. So I saved myself some hassle, and money, and just stuck them together.

I'm guessing you used 3-D printing then.

Those bearings look sick with that color set...

Nope. The bolt and track tip are carved from Humpback whale bone. Just kidding, yes 3d printed.

Blader For Life

Lol.
That bey is sweet, are the bearings steel or ceramic?

I'm really pleased this worked out so well. The idea has always been good and I love that there was some real collaboration involved. It looks great and is the perfect weight too!

So.... For sale?

---

Steel bearings from eBay.

---

Blader For Life

Cool, but yeah that is a good question, is this for sale in the near future?

---

In order to keep weight and cost down the top and bottom were made thin. I worked in some design elements to fill it in a bit but I'm not convinced it could take a hit. Especially against an equally weighted bey. I will eventual put something up against it, but not yet.

The replacement parts for the Bey I was working on based on Bishop facebolt entry finally came in so I re-took some pics.

This is awesome! Glad to see all the parts come together, love the steampunk flair.
Some sort of alternate future compass. Impressed!

Because the original wasn't strong enough.

Featuring no balance issues and most of its weight directed to the outside. Fun

Dying or getting killed isn’t something unnatural. Living aimlessly without a purpose is.
Kiba
That's not your true form. Why do you hide yourself?
Kiba
Everyone's gonna die. It's a natural part of life. But if life has no purpose, you're dead already.

Her attacks are like diamond to the flesh
She's already seen all the HTTYD movies
And Ryukiba is her address,
In a Texas town, no bey part envy

But every blader's like Synchrome, Metal Face, Stallin' on Tornado Ridge,
Giga Flats, Spin Steal , trashin' the whole stadium,
She don't care, She's chillin' with Ryuga in her dreams.
But Blader's like Cristal Wheel, Tall Track, Wear Tempo like a timepiece.
4-D, Zero-G, Byakkus and Garudas.
She don't care, She's made a different Top Tier.

And You'll never beat Ryukiba (-kiba).
She's got Ryuga's Dragon Blood,
That kind of Power just ain't for us.
Her Beyblade style's all the buzz.
She will be your ruler (ruler),
You can call her Fishy
And baby She rules, She rules, She rules, She rules.
To beat her is a fantasy.


My friends and I—we've cracked the code.
We count our dollars on the train to the party.
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this,
We didn't come for money.

Ooh ooh oh, Ooh ooh oh
She's stonger than you'll ever be,
The one and only Dragon queen.
Ooh ooh oh, Ooh ooh oh
Was born L-drago's lair
To be the best is her affair.

I remember going to a Toys "R" Us tournament once. They did like a king of the hill style where you kept battling until you lost, and one kid swept like 8 other people with a fake, filled in Basalt Horogium, haha.

Does it weigh more than the original Basalt, or the same amount? If it's really heavy like everything else you've made, I'd want to see if any legitimate Beyblade custom could take it down. The only thing that might have a chance is Dragooon B:D assuming this isn't dual spin, lol.

Not sure of its weight as I've yet to get it printed. Based on previous prints I'm guessing it should be around 60+. It does currently have the dual spin center, part of the reason I call it Perfect Version.

It looks more endurance based, rather then defense.

Could you estimate the price of the Basalt wheel? (If you haven't already)

Probably back for real.

When Basalt wheel is completely finished it will probably cost around $70 or $80 to have it printed. I just finished Shining God HWS. Doing the texture maps for the decals is a pain.

That is a fantastic Basalt, certainly a tank.

Dude the Shining God design is awesome, i hope that goes for sale.

Dude, I love Cross/Spin Dragoon. You rock.

EDIT: This is actually how I'd imagine the next series being designed....

That's a very cool Ultimate Dragoon!
I recommend looking for the Fire Dragoon Bit Sticker.

Why Spark Knight xD?

It just looks freaking amazing, look at those decals. Today details like that are just printed or emblazoned.

Saizo is ten times cooler than Spark Knight. Dat pearl black.

Not suggesting nor recommending my ideas (not my thread), but here's the designation for each part sans-bit chip from my perspective:

-II- Plate Bolt
-III- Legacy Wheel
-IV- Angle Wheel
-V- Ultimate Track (4 locking bits)
-VI- Legacy Base
