Spin Track: Solar Panel 140.
Weight: 7.01 gram
The spin track is blue colored and is in the shape of a solar panel which can open and close as per the user’s commands. The spin track is the most useful part of this bey. Along with a unique height, it has multiple mode change. It has the shape of a solar panel with tough plastic coating on the outside and a thin rubber coat on the lower side of the track’s open able parts. It has 4 open able wings of which 1, 2, 3, 4 or none can be kept open. It changes the performance of the track greatly.
Defense mode: In this mode all the wings are opened. In left spin produces a little hovering effect due to the track’s parts creating an upward force similar to that in a helicopter which reduces the bey’s traction with the stadium in the starting phases but on lowering the spin velocity it adds to the spin velocity. In right spin it adds to the defense in the start by creating a downward force and increasing the traction. When the spin velocity lowers it closes slowly adding to the spin velocity. It can be used in defense customs like MF-H Basalt/Earth/Hell Bull/Kerbecs/Aquario SP140 (Defense) RS/CS. Some bladers use it in MF-H Meteo L-Drago SP140 (Defense) D to aid spin stealing in earlier phases and to reduce a little friction.
Attack mode: 2 sides open (4 ways possible): This mode is useful for most two sided attackers when opposite wings are open. This mode is useful for left spin as well because two open wings don’t create enough upward force to lift the bey or to reduce its traction greatly, instead it helps to increase spin velocity. It also reduces their recoil while adding to their smash points. When two adjacent wings are open, there is a lot of imbalance created so this mode in attack mode is generally not used. Attack mode (opposite wings open) can be used effectively in MF Beat/Vulcan Byxis SP 140 (Attack) RF/R2F. It can also be used in Lightning L-Drago/Gravity Perseus SP140 (Attack) RF.
Stamina mode: no side open: This mode is used for stamina customs. It functions similarly for both left and right spin. The slightly outward distribution of weight is useful for adding to the stamina of the beys. It is comparable to AD145 in its stamina properties. It can be used in stamina customs like Basalt/Earth Bull/Aquario/Kerbecs SP140 (Stamina) WD
When the spin track’s open wings are asymmetrical (i.e. two adjacent are open or 3 are open or 1 is open) it creates an imbalance which may cause this bey to floor scrape easily. Hence these modes are generally not used.
