YYF plastics cracking ?
« on: January 27, 2012, 07:32:32 AM »

Has anyone had problems with YYF plastics cracking "on their own"?
I've had a northstar in my drawer for a month or so and when i picked it up to play with it today and it had a huge crack almost cutting one half in half
I've previously had a starlite crack, I put it down to me smashing it in to the floor but the cracks have gotten worse as well, now it looks shattered rather than cracked.
It used to look like the northstar.




Does anyone know what causes this and how to avoid it?

Cause: Yes, the metal on the plastic causes it. over a period of time, they both flex against eachother due to weather/age/use and these are the untimely results. YYJ has the same issue.

Cure: Quit buying them and buy something made of Delrin or Metal.

^ incorrect (especially considering the starlite contains no metal)

email contact@yoyofactory.com about the north star. This problem was confined to the 1st run, over 12 months ago.

The starlite however appears to be damaged from impact.
