So ive noticed that with all my ripcord launchers (hasbro super grip launcher, and the little blue ones that comes with hasbro beys) wear down extremely fast. and after just a few hours of play the gears start to skip and the launches become less consistent and powerful. I was wondering if anyone knows any methods to prevent this from happening or any ways to fix it. that would still allow me to use it in tournaments and competitive play.
if not, is there another type of hasbro launcher that wont wear down as fast? 
trying to avoid string launchers because even with TT ones, im having issues. 

thanks!

Have you been clicking the launcher? If so, then that might be why it wears down fast

Or have u tried using a hammer to lightly tap the pin back in place?

the pin being loose isn't really the problem. the small tunnel that the ripcord goes threw has worn away, which gives the ripcord more space and thus it misses the gears half the time. 

my rip cords are vary straight so I dont think thats a problem, thanks for the suggestion though

WD-40 is a great idea! ill use that on my newer launchers and see if that increases they're life span

Last i checked, WD-40 kills launchers and erodes them so it's not a good idea.

That helps to my Supergrip launcher (white one) but does not last long. Few launches only.

The white ones from switchstrike are horrible on the other hand. Barely work with left and they get stuck very often.
The string launcher from hasbro is awful as well, doesn't work with all beys and skips gears even when it's brand new.

I honestly suggest to just get a TT launcher, sword launcher or just the one that comes along with Spriggan Requiem. I personally use the LR string launcher from TT and I gotta say that I'm very glad with that one.

Btw, a tiny tip tho, don't straighten your ripcords ... I've noticed that after I tried to do that it started to skip gears because there's apparently a bit to much space in between the cord and the gear inside the launcher, having it as it was from the package seems to work better.

It ain’t your fault or anyone else’s. The thing that matters most is that Hasbro doesn’t produce the plastic needed to withstand wear and tear through excessive use of the Ripcord launches. If this is gonna end up wrecking the Hasbro Sword Launcher, Which is in Xcalius X3 Set (which cannot
be bought any other way until Hasbro decides so),  all of us are gonna be so mad here. Except you  Tomy users.


i just bought the Hasbro sword launcher set today and not two hours after it’s loose.
