That's why many metal parts of Beyblades can vary in several aspects, such as weight and balance.
EDIT: Like Kai-V called it, they're just natural variations.

They can definitely fit, but while they're slightly longer than the regular LL2's ripcord, which has 62 teeth and results in about 5 full rotations, the BeyWheelz launcher's ripcord only has 57 teeth, all of which are spaced slightly further apart than the LL2's teeth, and only garner about 4.5 rotations.
The BeyWheelz ripcords may not be as good, but they sure look cooler and come in way more colors.
Dude, have you actually
tried using the Beywheelz ripcord in a LL2? It's pretty bad, to be honest. The ripcord just wasn't made for the launcher and it skips gears so badly that you would be significantly better off using a
Hasbro launcher instead. The heavier the Beyblade, the worse it is. It sounds like a good idea, but once you try it, the idea of making that legal just doesn't make sense.

It's unlikely that they're molded in different parts of the same factory... People just began assuming that Metal Fury Scythes with those particular AA- stamps were better than others based on a few people's tests that showed that their Scythes with those particular stamps performed better than their other Scythes with different stamps.
I don't know if any of the members who performed any of those tests ever got around to weighing their Scythes, but I've weighed 5 Metal Fury Scythes, tested them, and observed a positive correlation between increased weight and generally higher performance. Can't remember if anybody else ever did any tests to back me up, though...

I don't know if it's really skipping, the loss in power could also be due to the more widely spaced teeth. I remembered talk about the ripcords being compatible with LL2s back when BeyWheelz came out, but I couldn't remember if they'd actually been made legal for tournament use. You're right, though, it probably doesn't make much sense, just wonderin'.
I actually tried it a long ago and it even broke the inside gear of the LL2. It really fit bad inside so I don't recommand to use it.
Yeah, the widely spaced teeth is what makes the gears skip, since they were meant for something smaller. It would be cool if it did work well, but sadly from what I experienced, you might just be better off finger-spinning :p It fits, but you have to put a little more force into it than you do with the regular LL2 ripcord and I'm worried it might damage the launcher if I try it too many times, just judging by the sound it makes.

I posted a thread a while back (I'll edit it in once I find it) about legalizing the use of BeyRaiderz ripcords- they fit a lot better than the Wheelz ones and seem to be a decent alternative.
Is there any MFB boxes from Hasbro, Takara Tomy or Sonokong that I should keep for future sale ? When I receive or buy a bey I always ask myself if I should keep the box or not. :\
Boxes really aren't worth anything...

They aren't really worth much on their own, but say you had a mint TT Lightning L-Drago with all of the original contents- if you had the box with that, you'd probably be able to sell it for more.
They just add value, at some points. Now that MFB (at least some of the older styles) are "discontinued", the value will increase, since they'd be harder to regularly purchase. (Legends aside.)
I was just asking this for knowing if I should put my Hasbro Shogun Steel boxes in the recycle bin or not. Anyway, they take too much space so I taked my decision.

Well, I mean, depending on the condition of the boxes, he can always take photographs for Beywiki, no?
BeyBouncer, if you would like to share any of the ones you may decide to take, post them
here, bud.
EDIT: Sorry, I misread your post, Echizen. I apologize.
Yes but they aren't worrh anything. No amount of money.
I always love beyboxes as long as they are in good condition... Too pretty!

Are there any recolors of Metal System Bull that come with a cleat blue track and bottom?
Also, what color is the track and bottom of the blue saggittario in RBV1?

This page should be rather reliable :

Awesome, thanks. Also, what is the worth of the Bull 105D from RBV1, mint?

Bull is not valuable at all, but just because it is a Beyblade from BB-13, I suppose it could be worth maximum fifty dollars, I do not know.
How come my guardian leviathan is so unbalanced? It either moves attack type-ish, or when it stays put it sways outward. Is this a defect or is this supposed to happen?
Chrome/Crystal beyblades are basically always unbalanced..
Guardian is really light and being put under a heavy wheel like Leviathin. And Shogun Steel/Zero-G beys are known to be a little imbalanced too. And on that tip, yes, it's going to be very imbalanced.
Owners of Dragoon MSUV, have any of you reported cracks on the Metal Frame on the Attack Ring? I'm starting to get some
I made this quite good beyblade, Flame Chimera WA130 TB, and I wanted to see where my bey clocks in type wise. I checked the star count, and it seems like it was a semi-tanker with moderate attack; or a balance type. Why exactly is it a balance type?

Competitively, it's not as good as you think, unfortuntely, haha.
However, it's Balance as it is a "mixture" of different parts- Flame was used for Stamina, Chimera and WA130 never saw too much use, though I'd think WA130 would be meant for Attack, and TB is a good Stamina bottom.
Unfortunately, the stars are completely worthless for judging how good a part or combo is. Your Beyblade is a weak Stamina type with a bit of Defense. TB is a good Stamina part, but only on F230. WA130 isn't really good at anything except Attack, but it's outclassed by S130 and CH120. I don't know how good Chimera is, but if it's heavy ( >3.2g) it should be pretty good for Stamina and Defense. Flame has decent Stamina and Defense in Limited Format, but it's nowhere near top-tier.
