I think a piece of me died inside writing this up. Stupid Bey.
Bit chip:
Unlike other plastic models Flame Pegasus was released with 3 Bit Chips, a normal, Hole and Spike version. The Spike variant enables the Beyblade to spin upside down, using said spike as a tip. The Hole variant allows the Beyblade to be spun on a rip cord. Both of these bit chips are considered gimmicks and should never be used in a competitive situation.
AR ring: Wing Upper:
In right spin the Attack Rings short slopes allows some degree of Upper Attack. However, unlike the longer slopes of Upper Dragoon, Wing Upper's aforementioned short slopes decrease its ability to lift the opposing Beyblade as effectively. Additionally, many other Attack Rings have increased Upper Attack abilities. When used in Left Spin, Wing Upper supplies a small amount of Force Smash; again however many other Attack Rings outclass its Force Smash abilities. Wing Upper lacks both the required weight and weight distribution need to effectively use Force Smash. Despite this, Wing Upper lends itself well to certain zombie customizations, due to its centralised weight and minimal recoil. Wing Upper is a decent alternative to other harder to obtain ARs such as Twin Horn.

AR: Wing Upper (Flame Pegasus G)
WD: Wide Defence
SG: Right SG (Bearing Version) (Wolborg)
SP: Defence Ring (Voltaic Ape)
BB: Customize Grip Base (Dragoon V2)
Engine Gear (EG): Gyro Engine Gear
The Engine Gear when combined with the Engine Stopper allows the Beyblade to spin without a launcher. This gimmick feature has no real use. The engine itself is the longest lasting. The tip has little friction complementing stamina combos.
In conjunction with the BB Engine Stopper, the EG allows the Bey to be spun without a launcher, only a Ripcord needs to be inserted into the designated area(s) in the Engine Stopper- a feature unique to Flame Pegasus. The tip is a small, metal sharp tip, as such can easily be caught off balance. In a competitive situation, this gimmick piece has no use, and should never to be played. Gyro Engine Gear may only be used with its own base, Engine stopper.
Ruling: Gyro Engine Gear is, as its name implies, an Engine Gear- as such it should be treated as one. Prior to countdown, the Engine Gear must be released and prepared on a launcher. In official play, the Engine Gear and Base cannot be launched by its own gimmick and must be used in unison with each other.
Blade Base (BB): Engine Stopper
Unique to Flame Pegasus, Engine Stopper (although an officially declared illegal with WBO rulings) is the only Beyblade the designers had intended for multi directional spin. A Ripcord can be placed in one of two slots to start the engine gear .The EG only allows a Right-Spin Launcher, hence it can only be launched clockwise- the Engine Gear may be spun any direction- although its use in any competitive situation is not advised. Engine Stopper also has two small slopes, intended for upper attack synergy with Wing Upper, the effect of this is negligible however, as the two sets of slopes are not aligned and the EG supplies no attack power being a sharp tip.
Other Versions:
Random Booster Act 12 Thunder Pegasus (Purple, Alternative Stickers)
Conclusion.
Despite the rest of the Beyblade being essentially useless, Wing Upper has minor uses in an Upper Attack Customisation and provides itself as a decent alternative in both Zombie and Compact Customisations.Therefore, this Beyblade should only be obtained if a preferred alternative cannot be purchased, or for collection purposes.
