Yes, you can definitely pick which mode it stays in. It obviously shifts side to side.
Don't jump to conclusions, guys.
im not loving the use of a screwdriver in MFB, i thought we had steered away from that since plastics, but now its coming back...
o well...
this track could be useful tho

uhh what makes you think you need to use a screwdriver?
The two screws that seem to hold the track together perhaps?
From the picture on mama beys site, you'll need to open it to get to that internal plate that allows the bottom to move.
What the purpose of letting you get to it is I'm not sure.
probably just a OHKO bottom and track. I'd laugh if they even called it a balance type. Are we seeing something slightly similar to Hopper attack?
BTW 'Q' must stand for Quap if it can last for 12 seconds. I mean, it'd be too busy bouncing for it to properly attack full on. Unless it can magically lift up another blade. the clear wheel looks nice though
maybe i don't know really

That is a pretty large assumption to make IMO. It looks to me the screws are just there for the structure of the part. I can't see them forcing you to screw and unscrew it just to change modes. If they allowed such a thing past, it's a shockingly bad design.

i dont think its that much of an assumption... u have to unscrew the track to get to that locking piece which fits into the oval which makes the moving piece of the track stay in place...
so it kinda only makes sense that youd have to use a screw driver to switch modes...
thats just what i see, but let me know if im missing something
Personally, I think it would be ridiculous for Takara Tomy to make anything which requires a screwdriver to function properly in this fashion; assembly would probably be the only acceptable usage of a screw.

What makes you think you need to open it up to change modes? I don't see any indication of that. It looks to me that someone simply disassembled their M145 and displayed the insides.
the mode in which it moves around, shouldn't use that part sitting next to the piece that attaches to the bottom. that part looks like it goes under the bottom attach part, and then that combination of parts is set within the bottom of the track. with the combination of parts, there would be no room for the bottom attach part to move around, locking it in place. this could only be done by unscrewing the track.
if thats not how the modes are switched, then i dont see why there would need to be screws in the first place...

To hold the plastic together? Did you think they manufacture the parts as one piece?

Have you heard of interlocking?

To me it looks like the part that makes the track move is wide enuff to alow it to move from side to side
Mama-bey just explained to me that, I think, there is no need to unscrew the Track : the part that attaches to the Bottom simply slides from left to right, locking into two different modes, which are Large Jump and Small Jump.
Large Jump is the mode which puts the Bottom farther to the side of the Track, near its circumference. To understand this, you need to have noticed that the 'slide hole' in the bottom of the Track is not centered : on one side, there are two lines of 'squares' in the mold; on the other side, there are three. This mode obviously creates the big jumps we have seen.
Small Jump places the Bottom closer to the center, towards the three sets of squares. The tip of Q is not really centered obviously, but the Bottom as a whole is centered on the Track. From what I saw in a video, there is no largely noticeable jump with this mode, and Storm Capricorne spins for only a few seconds longer.
I am trying to get mama-bey's permission to post her pictures ...
see people no need for screwdrivers.
Small jump mode could have some possible use with a bottom like B or WB.
It'd have to be something without a definite 'tip' or 'point', so D and SD are probably ruled out.

uhm why?
Well if the tip is at an angle, then it won't be spinning on the tip, it'd be spinning on the flat section of the rest of the bottom.
With things like WD, it'd probably end up working almost like a flat since it'd be almost fully in contact with the stadium floor.
Bottoms like B don't have any flat sections to them, they're spherical so you wouldn't have the same problem.
Kai-V clearly said that "low jump" mode is centered. If you use a non-angled tip, such as SD, it will be centered entirely. So what's the problem?
Also, you completely misunderstand how the tip would react. It would still "hop" because it is not centered, so the tip is rotating around the Beyblade.
I thought it still wasn't fully centered, just closer to center?
"Small Jump places the Bottom closer to the center, towards the three sets of squares."
edit: Just read a little further, now feeling a little bit stupid.
Well, this is definitely good news.
Sorry, should have realized that the bottom would still react differently by being off centered, should have thought about it a little more.
storm capricorne is WAY better than i expected
So the bottom is still slightly off centered, even in small jump mode.
