I bought some small equipment to do this. I did it with a manual jewelers drill, and a small tap. A good investment if you're planning on doing this a lot, but realistically, if you just want 1-3 customs for a collection and not for use, just buy the kits. Lots of room for error and especially damaging the contact points for rachets and the plastic.
May I just say, I'd been on the fence about beyblade X, but seeing this has absolutely convinced me to engage with it. The fact you are workshopping your beyblade like you're in the damn anime, MY GUYYY
Loved the vid and the comments, hold on for dear life 😂😂😂 instead of blue tape to mark your depth thr is a set that has lockouts for how deep it will let you go. The best way to describe it is you built r.c cars on the motor yiu would put a pinion-gear that locked into place once you set it with a lock screw, or for a mental image take the pinion gear cut the teeth of and the other half is what you would use.
@@crimsoncursedcustoms worth a shot, I do have 1 more idea for you. If you can find it, old school vacuum line for cars, they have tiny hoses. You can cut the length to cover just like the tape and the ends will last longer. Good luck and great job on creating some real nice work.
Potentially. To me unless it's 100% done the correct way it's No longer good for sale on my store. So no it's not actual trash. But it doesn't get sold. I personally just tap all the way through and put a set screw on top. Locking in a actual metal cap
@thepandalxrd176 I give out information on something when I no longer think of it as main aspect of my store. Things are changing. And if people wanna dive into it and spend all the money and time to do it. That's fine But I'll still have them for sale on my store
@@crimsoncursedcustoms I see, honestly I don't think a lot of people will even attempt to customize beys since you gotta be hella precise and considering I shake too much I'd destroy more beys than there are beys in all of beyblade history lol, thx for the info tho, I won't ever do it myself but I'm still thankful, keep up the good work 👌
I shake a lot too. The tools being the way they are help a lot. If you have ne a hand drill, or a dremel to do this. It probably be impossible for me to do.
@@crimsoncursedcustoms yeah I live in an apartment with family so no space for any of the tools you got, no garage or anything like that, and I just can't stay still for long, like I gotta at least sway from side to side or I'll shake in place
M2x3 or 4 Depends how deep you go. Each blade is different. Going smallest size is best. If you happen to drill straight through. You can tap all the way through and add on a set screw to cover the hole before you paint
@@crimsoncursedcustoms nah i do 3d prints, just needed reference size for design. After I make the first protos, maybe i'll send sum your way for u to have fun with (paint tests and all that)
I am not too big of a fan of 3D printed beyblades, and I also never launch any of my beyblades. They sit on a shelf brand new. I always wanted to cast my own. But it's not in the budget atm
@@crimsoncursedcustoms fair fair, I was planning on buying polycarbonate but also but steel filled filament on a whim. Hopefully the product will speak for itself.
The DIY kits are fully taken apart with all the required hardware to put them back together Pretty much the whole process you see in this video is what has been done to them
@@crimsoncursedcustoms yeah you really did a good job there bro, i myself some costums paint but using a paint marker so that i can still use it in the tournaments
Yo, that Dragoon looks awesome ngl. how much are you selling it for? I don't have much money as I'm just a "kid" and don't have a job. I do have some money but would like to not break the bank But, I am very much interested in your dragoon "mistake" it still looks awesome to me. PS: first btw
You do what you see in this video. Then you use paint removed. About it. There really isn't a easy way to remove the paint off the blades when it's put together.
