Modding yo-yos
CallMeAl:
Cool! Hot Rod Yo-Yo's Who would of thought! I guess it's just the urge we all have to take something common and make it better, faster, and more impressive. Modding at it's best.

:bugeye: :bugeye: Got to chapter 3 but to be honest, had lost it several paragraphs earlier !!! :doh: What did your tutors think of the paper - I expect it was a little different than the dull dross they probably normally have to read.
Blade:
Great write up and videos! Thanks for sharing. I have some Titanium valves from nascar engines that I have wanted to make a yo-yo from, I will have to give it a try now that you have shown how.
Mark132:
Titanium yo-yos are awesome. Due to their relative difficulty and cost to machine vs, aluminum it is rarely used for production models. Due to its strength the walls can be much thinner and thus you can really use the outer weight distribution to your advantage. Where an aluminum yo-yo will average about $100 retail, Ti yo-yos usually go for about $300.
I've never owned one because I cant afford it. But they are cool and they spark when you walk the dog.
This one is aluminum hubbed with giant Ti rings. And cool case.
Brass_Machine:
A Ti yoyo. How cool. These look pretty sweet. Love how the string is labeled 'software'... :smart:
