Hades isnt really good for tournaments, well if you're trying to win, and which dragoon? The Zero G chrome wheel Dragooon?

False.

They are the same. How do I know?

Because I have both.

It is not really a matter of other Tracks 'outclassing' S130. It works in certain scenarios with certain parts, like with Flash and VariAres particularly, but sometimes other Attack parts work with more harmony with Tracks like BD145, for instance. It really depends what else you have in your customization.

I'm not a collector, I like to compete in any game i play, so i'd just like to know if the differences are aesthetic or if there are measured differences between hasbro and TT and if one is always worth buying over the other.

Is it the model number? Is it signifying only a color change in the top or do the letters and numbers mean something else?

The wiki is good but i haven't been able to find a lot of basic information on there, like what the model number-like things are after the bey name. Thanks everyone.

Quote:- Hasbro released some weaker versions of the 4D Beyblades in Metal Fury. The Metal Wheels are hollowed and weigh a lot less. However, Hasbro has started releasing the proper 4D Metal Wheels in the "Hyperblade" series and we can expect them to release all of them before Shogun Steel starts.

Is there a list I can reference as to which Beys were "hollowed out" or should I assume all non-hyerblades from metalfury are hollowed out. In addition, although the Metal Wheels are hollowed, are there still worthwhile performance tips and tracks you can only find in Metal Fury?

I think i've got it now. So in my example of Samurai Pegasis W105R2F, this means that it's track is 10.5mm high with a Wing design and a Right Rubber Flat performance tip. Is that correct? Is there a shorthand list for all abbreviations that doesn't require I open a thousand tabs haha? Like a R2=Right Rubber, W=Wing, sort of thing?

Thanks for your time, if i'm at all using this thread incorrectly, I apologize and kindly let me know. In future I will certainly pm you if I can't figure something out.

EDIT: LMAO thank you for your answer as well.

Quote:Yes, absolutely everything from the Metal Fury series that does not specifically have "Hyperblade" on the package is hollowed out.

No, nothing that was not already in Metal Masters anyway. I suppose that if you need an R²F for your Attack types, Cosmic Pegasus has it.

Quote:Yes, you got it. In the Beyblade Parts List you have all this information about the abbreviations, they are all laid out in a clean and simple layout. Does that fulfill your needs ?

When I place it in ultimate balance mode turning the outer frame is not very smooth and sometimes when I remove the inner frame the outer frame stays on XD and you have to physically remove the outer frame. I would like to know if this Diablo would be considered legal in this mode and is this a common occurrence with other Diablo Nemesis beys?
