[Unanswered]  JADE JUPITER RATTLING! PLEASE ADVISE

So I recently got my hands on a Jade Jupiter s130rb. It's in good condition and I've cleaned off the grim and made it look new. Nevertheless, whenever it is assembled in one piece, I hear this very slight sound of the Jade pc frame moving on the Jade fusion wheel. It's not the metal balls but the fusion wheel and pc frame move very little but make a small sound. Is this normal?

This is due to the several pieces needing some space

So it's normal in other words?
You're fine. From its wiki page:
Quote:A trick to finding Jade Jupiter in the Random Booster Pack, is to shake the box. If it rattles, one should get Jade Jupiter. What's causing the rattling, are the four metal balls in Jade. This does not happen all the time though, due to Takara Tomy adding cardboard and fixing the metal balls, people cannot hear it. If this is the case, try squeezing the box, if it softer than usual it is Jade Jupiter

NO, not the balls. When it is in defense mode, the fusion wheel and pc frame move a little (very little but still) and there's a kind of clinking sound.
Guess I'm more tired than I thought, sorry about that!

To be clear, I'm not a Metal Fight Beyblade owner, I just have recently started reading about them.

I'm doing a search through the site here, and though I'm not seeing anything on Jade Jupiter rattling (other than the metal balls), I see people complaining about TT Metal Fight Beyblades that rattle badly, due to mold differences or otherwise. If it's only a very slight rattling and not anything of note (and you notice no wear or damage), I don't think it's in bad shape. But someone with experience would probably know better.

No one really seems to talk about whether it's normal for parts to rattle out of the box. You don't want them for combos, they say, but if the parts are supposed to fit well without moving in stock, then it would be a sign that there is a mold issue or maybe damage.

It depends on what's normal for TT, and even what's normal for Jade Jupiter. Hopefully someone with experience can clear that up, though. I'm sorry I can't really help.

Edit: Did a bit of fixing to try to make this post more useful.



Hey @[jade_juper], I think I found some confirmation that what you have is normal. Because Jade Jupiter has a 4D Wheel.

Most 4D Wheels rattle, and it also depends on the CW. It is completely natural.

But it's fine if you want an extra opinion.
My Jade Jupiter also rattles if that helps at all.
