Taking care of your equipment - kbuno50 - Feb. 23, 2012
Do you take care of your beyblade equipment? Do you wash it, clean it, fix it, etc. , what do you use?

I don't wash my beys because they will rust. However, I wash my attack stadium often to clean it from the dust and other stuff it collects over time.

I try not to drop any of my beys or let them spin on concrete. So far, over the past year, I have only had a split ES and a snapped Pegasus II face... ES was dropped on concrete, while hitsugiya split the face with Blitz...

i have only broke a fake beyblade off 3 floors and the metal wheel (it was made out of clay). i beyed a storm capricorn(hasbro real) off a 4 floor building and the beyblade didn't broke but i lost it when my friend threw it back to me. Can some one tell me how to get spray paint of a metal wheel?
RE: Taking care of your equipment - DefStamina88 - Feb. 23, 2012
I can tell you what isn't a good way to get paint off; sandpaper. Wears down the wheel too much.

and i broke my CS it bounced on my freinds fake blitz (left spin) and broke

RE: Taking care of your equipment - Ga' - Feb. 23, 2012
If you want to strip the paint, just get a can of paint stripper, follow the instructions and be cautious.
I think it was Kei who did that with his Meteo, Pegasis and Libra, and it came out really well.
RE: Taking care of your equipment - Janstarblast - Feb. 23, 2012
I care quite a lot about my beys.
First off, they are stored in a way that would prevent them from catching dust.
I have them in a box which previously held Vochelle Chocolate-coated Almonds. This box, has been wrapped with Bubble Wrap. This whole thing, has been put into a plastic bag.
So this is how well I store them.
Now, I also clean and polish them every now and then. I usually soak a few parts (sticker-less parts only) and have them dried soon enough.
I regularly clean the tips with a soft cloth(to prevent them from wearing down).
RE: Taking care of your equipment - sucks - Feb. 23, 2012
I don't see any need for washing a beyblade. I like to have mine battered up so it looks meaner!
RE: Taking care of your equipment - Hazel - Feb. 23, 2012
Anyone who uses rubber tips needs to clean both the tips and their Stadia frequently... shmutz from both sides can drastically affect performance...
RE: Taking care of your equipment - UGottaCetus - Feb. 23, 2012
I wipe my wheels off occasionally, and clean the stadium every once in a while... don't really mess with CW/track scratches or dents, I refer to them as "battle scars." Only had a few parts break, but they were good ones like my CH120 and my Befowl and Cetus CW.
RE: Taking care of your equipment - killjimmy - Feb. 23, 2012
Easy way to clean your rubber tips before you launch them is to lick it with your tongue, then wipe it with your finger. Works everytime!
RE: Taking care of your equipment - kbuno50 - Feb. 23, 2012
Eww, I just scrape it with my fingernail.
RE: Taking care of your equipment - Hazel - Feb. 23, 2012
Yeah, scraping with the fingernail is the best way that I've found to do it other than using alcohol swabs, but that takes more time and dries out the rubber.
I am not licking something that is frequently scooting around on my floor.
RE: Taking care of your equipment - Kai-V - Feb. 24, 2012
Or rubbing all over Hasbro's toxic paint. What the hell.
The best way to take care of your equipment, unfortunately : not use them.
RE: Taking care of your equipment - CocoaPuffs - Feb. 24, 2012
Hasbro's paint is toxic? Or was that sarcastic? If it is toxic I might be in a bit of trouble, LOL.
RE: Taking care of your equipment - Hazel - Feb. 24, 2012
I would not regularly ingest it either way just to be certain... I highly doubt it is food-grade.
RE: Taking care of your equipment - Kai-V - Feb. 24, 2012
Is there any paint that is not toxic ? In any case, it is certainly not that non-toxic type that Hasbro uses.
RE: Taking care of your equipment - Hazel - Feb. 24, 2012
Non-toxic paints are used a lot in the toy industry now, actually, ever since the really massive Lead Paint incident a few years ago.
Hasbro should be using them on at least some of their stuff, as they have painted figures(non-Beyblade).

i just cleaned my flam....i mean thermal byxis
RE: Taking care of your equipment - Switchblade - Feb. 24, 2012
Does anyone else here clean their spin tracks? I only clean free-spinning ones (WA135, ED145, etc.
RE: Taking care of your equipment - kbuno50 - Feb. 24, 2012
Not really, all I do is clean my fusion wheels. Once in a while, I might, but I really don't. I clean my stadium a lot, though.

As of right now there is the same amount of votes for Yes and Kinda.RE: Taking care of your equipment - kbuno50 - Feb. 26, 2012
Earlier, I cleaned my stadium. I have hasbro stadiums, so I just fill it with water and soap, and scrub. What do you guys use?
