Metal core: This part of the bey is what keeps it balanced in the center and allows for the blades to be inserted via slots around the sides.
Top cap: This part of the bey is what contains the blades around the sides and allows them to be inserted and customized. A maximum of 4 blades can fit into each slot. The slots are evenly distributed across the cap with 4 on the bottom and 4 on the top.
Bottom cap: The bottom cap’s purpose is to be a container for the performance tip. Additionally, it has 4 groves that can fit up to 4 thin metal “ninja stars.†The ninja stars add to the theme of the Beyblade, in addition to contributing to the idea of fine tuning it’s weight. A maximum of 4 stars can be placed in the groves combined, but the number of combinations that one can make are countless.
Performance tip: Performance tips come in various shapes and are inserted through the top of the bottom cap, staying in place due to a ball on it’s top and a clamp that can be pushed in to allow it to go through the performance tip hole, as shown below. Each performance tip is attached to a spin track, therefore there can be various spin track heights with the same performance tip.
Blades: As shown below, the blades are designed in various shapes and sizes in order to manipulate the Beyblade’s performance and style of attack. An uppercut blade can be paired with a low spin track and flat performance tip to attack an opponent with a higher spin track from below, while an undercut blade can be paired with a higher spin track to attack a lower track opponent from above.
