Tribute to Ettore (Tomymoonly Mod)

So here we are, the "revenge" of X³ on Ettore, the best modder the world has ever known.

It's a kind of reaction to the Steamroller's mod he done. I was wondering why he is doing so much modd on yoyos and nobody is making any on B!ST one? So i picked up the Competizione Super Evo my friend Sam offered me and looked at it... I thought about what i will be able to do with my cheap and bad tools. I had so many ideas but of course i knew i could not achieved everything with the limited tools that i had...

My main  idea was to play with light effects that will cross the yoyo.

So i thought about my idea and decided to do it that way :
First, i wanted to Create 4 longs parallel slots on each halve  and to dig 4 holes close to the bearing sit to let pass the light. Then, i had to align all the slots and the holes between the 2 halves in order to build a symetry effect

 

When the competizione has been finished, i had  something new to fix. It was too light to be playable. So i thought on wich yoyo i should use to create  the weight rims. I decide to pick up the stargazer Naoki offered me. I had the idea to work with the screw of the competizione, creating someting looking like a pit of light that will bring the light on the slots of the yoyo..  That's why i only dig a hole on the center of the rims.

 

 

In the end, the light effects expected was not as good as i wanted, but it works.

At least if i think it's all about my tools, i could not have done a better modd... it has been done with cheap and bad tools, and everybody could have done it... (exept for the rims u could not have done such a work without a lath.)

 

 

So my final words will be this one, "if u like to work on yoyos, not esspecially play, just try it, don't be afraid to waste hundred of euros, the most important is to take pleasure / Have fun ..."
