Well here are my creations so far

1 a launcher for MFB which I decided to call V Launcher

2 a super metal stadium

I have already posted som information of my launcher on another thread I created but I figured that this was a more appropriate lace to talk about it.

The V Launcher is basically a modified HMS launcher which is able to launch MFB.
This modification enables a blader to launch a MFB with much higher RPM (spinning velocity) compared to light launchers and and a bit higher RPM compared to the beybalunchers.(+ it stll maintains the accuracy of a light launcher).
check out the picks here:

The name of my second creation basically gives itself away. It is basically a lage stadium made from a sheet of metal.
it took me a while to finish but in my opinion it was woth it.
the battles in the stadium are great (especially with multiple beyblades) and as it very smoth and quite flexible the tips of the beyblades are not easily consumed.

Well these are my creations so far. Please feel free to ask questions and comment.

By the way I am well aware that these creations are illegal so please refrain from talking about this point.
What do you think of a metal roller defender
because roller defender is one of my favored bey blades and i really think they should have a metal one especially since there is a metal hopper and a plastic

Uh ... what does that have to do with this topic?

The stadium is pretty neat. How is it performance wise?
oh sorry came to the wrong thread
i do have a question though is it legal to make bey blade equipment other than bey blades
It works very well
the only thing which in my opinion should be improved is the connection of the parts together.
In fact in order to keep the metal together i used what I think is Electrical tape and this slightly affects the beyblades.
but over all I think it is awsome an I especialy likie using attack type beyblades as they can freely move around the stadium without falling out due to its size and steep walls.
Your good at making stuff.
Try and put a video up or soething.
You make pretty cool things - and yea a video would be awesome
I really like what you did with the Launcher! nice job, the stadium looks alright to.
you should weld the sheet metal together that might make it join better?
im pretty curious to see a battle in it can you take a video?
Dude the stadium was leet. How much did it cost you to get that stuff or was it just scrap metal? Also how about a guide on how to make the launcher and stadium?
I'd love to make a video but unfortunately I do not have a videocamera but I am saving dome money to buy a good one so as soon as I do I will most certainly make a video.

Yesterday I should have welded the parts together to make it better problem is I am afraid that there is still going to be some irregularity where the welding is going to be and that may ruin the tips of the beyblades.

I will be more than happy to post a tutorial on how to build the launcher and the stadium.

To build the stadium it cost me around about 20 AUD for the large sheet Of metal and for the tape.
Hmm not bad. Looking forward to a tutorial!

Isn't that about what a plastic stadium costs?

you should weld it then grind it to make it smoth again so there is no irregularitys?
You should cut the walls on the stadium shorter and then fold over the tops of the walls a tiny bit to get rid of the sharp edge that would be left. That way it will be easier for people to launch in the stadium, and they will not cut themselves.

Well as har as I know it is less As if you try to buy a stadium now you an only do it online and the cost of the stadium+ postage cost is fairly higher.

Also I Payed arpund about 20 AUD including the large tape.
If you already have a tape then that would be a couple of bucks less + if you live in the states or in europe the price is going to be lower beause of the currency difference.

Also the the stadium is substantially bigger than a plastic one and it is a lot of fun actually creating it.

the problem with that is Im afraid the grinding will leave a bit of tiny scratches on the stadium and this may be harmfull for the tips.
Also now that I think about it I thing that a bit of tape is needed anyway in order to avoid hitting the metal of the stadium to hard with a beyblade.

Yes I agree with you I was thinking about doing it but then left it out.
Hy guys

Sorry no tutorials yet, BUT;

CHECK OUT MY NEW MODIFICATION TO THE V LAUNCHER:

now it is MFB accessories compatible.

if you cant do it you could always get a freind to do it?
the launcher looks sweet btw look foward to seeing how it preforms :]
i really do strongly feel that beyblade bowls (stadiums) should be metal. and if this is doing well then im double happy! if hasbro do change anything about beyblades ... then give us metal stadiums! this is awsome i have have to do teh same!
A metal stadium will great IF takara or hasbro also releases very strong tips as, even though A GOOD metal stadium doesn't wear the tips very fast, it still wears them out faster than a plastic stadium.
Well I was supposed to post the tutorial on how to make The V Launcher here but I got mixed up and instead posted it on my othe thread; http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-BEYBLADE...pid=192905

I will be posting the tutorial on how to make a SuperMetalStadium HERE tomorrow mornig.

tbh i think all the beyblade should be metal (unless stated otherwise) then beyblades would be well decent. i dont think beyblades have moved on that much since the plastics cause metal fights only have one of the components (2 if you get a metal face) made from metal.
I'm digging your stuff man. Keep it up! Smile

But that would reak havoc for stamina bladers. Metal bottoms would rule, though. I disagree with the concept of Metal faces becouse its just a weight. A metal bottom would give weight AND a stronger tip!

My beystaduim is wooden. Ur staduim outclasses mine in many ways- except entrance ramps. The wood for the battle surface is a special one, like that of countertops, that acts like the plastic as far as tip damage goes. It probably does the damage of 2 battles in your staduim to the tips per beybattle. I am learning a lot from ur staduim.
Well here is the tutorial on how to Make the SuperMetalStadium.

The interesting thing about building this stadium is that you can everybody will crate an unique one. There are no specific measures and you can decide either to make it BIG or SMALL with STEEP WALLs or WITHOUT STEEP WALLS with a larger flat area in the middle (stamina stadium) or with a smaller flat area in the middle (attack stadium).

PLEASE NOTE: First of all building a stadium out of metal is extremely dangerous so there has to be an adult at all times.

ALSO you can use the same tutorial steps to build a large plastic stadium (It may cost less and it will be less dangerous to prepare).

Note: I created the SuperMetalStadium by using only a hand saw and it has taken me a lot finish. I advise you to use other electric cutting tools; STILL BE CAREULL

Materials.
1 large sheet of metal (now I do not remember exactly how big my sheet of metal was but I am guessing around about cm80x cm120) choose the size you wish as it depends on how big yous stadium is going to be. (Also note that any thin and flexible material can be used) THE THINNER AND SMOOTHER THE SHEET THE BETTER.

1 hand saw or electric saw

Some strong and thin tape.(this is used to attach the parts together if you are able to weld hem together then go for it .

Step 1
Find a large Smooth and thin sheet of metal and draw two circles in it a large one which will be for the whole stadium and a small on ]e which will be flat surface in the middle.(Note the bigger the smaller circle the more the stadium becomes a stamina stadium and the smaller the smaller circle the more the stadium becomes an attack stadium.
IMP> Make sure you have drawn 2 PRECISE circles.
Fig 1

Step 2 (the hard step)
Now you need to draw a the section of the large circle you are going to cut out. REMEMBER The Larger the section the steeper the walls.
Fig 2 Fig.3

[attachment=1243]
[attachment=1244]
Step 3 use a handsaw or whatever else you have got to first cut the two circles and then cut out the section from the large circle. REMEMBER when cutting make sure not to scratch the metal surface as it scratches could harm the tip of the beyblades.
Fig 4

[attachment=1245]

Step 4 as shown in Fig 5 combine A and B so that you end up with a cone shape do this by either welding or taping the parts together. The place the smaller circle in the middle and fix it with some tape or weld it in place.
Finally you can usethe metal that is left to create the protective barriers on top of the stadium.

[attachment=1246]

As it is now the stadium would not be able to stand up by itself you can ether cut a pat of the bottom of to make it flat or just place it in a small bowl or something similar

Hope you enjoy making it and please be careful.
