The Definitive Raider Mod Post

[Marcius]

How do the YYJ Sunsets or YYF Loop 720s compare to modded Raiders?

[littleyoyo12]

So regular raiders won't work?

[hatos]

hello I bought a pair of raider EX and one of them don't loop good and don't sleep good
can I make the mod on this raider ?
and if I do the mod on normals raiders, they will be more responsives or less responsif?

I want to do this mod.

[Cats•Are•Cute•Right?]

As long as it is a "raiders" (YYN raiders, original raiders, raider EX or shinji/koji raiders)..it can be CRANK am i right?

[fzzyrn]

yep. but PLEASE do not crank shinji/koji raiders......

[Cats•Are•Cute•Right?]

ok!  thanks for the tip fzzryn.
hey i hear that Yomega Raiders is DISCONTINUED.
is it true?

[fzzyrn]

i've heard no such thing

I tried this mod on a neon red raider that I just picked up from yomega.  If they aren't making the reds then I do feel lucky to have picked up a couple.

First, the plastic rims did not stick up as far as was shown and at first I was getting very low spin time.  I took the modded Raider apart and put it back together and results were quite good.  Still looking to get more sleep but response is workable.

Second, with the plastic spacer I felt no problems with the crank.

How do you keep the Raider halves together. I actually have the Raider Ex and for some reason they always come apart during play.

[Cats•Are•Cute•Right?]

Raider question again! 

Is there a possibility? Example you successfully CRANKED a raider while performing a mod, then you play it a day or two etc.
but if you want to open the yo-yo I mean you take apart the both gaps (for string reasons, lubing & etc.) and you take the gaps screw them up and CRANK again, Is there a tendency or a possibility that Raiders will be broken?

i tried to mode my raider now its pretty much way to responsive it wont sleep just snaps back anyone know why?

[yoyospirit]

Check if the string is under the bearing and please don't bring up old threads.

[BigBoss]

no i dose not work the string is fine.. maybe it was over tightened it seems to work if loosened but then it continues to loosen

[yoyospirit]

Don't tighten it so much then.

[NissanskylineN1]

Will this work for the Yomega RBII? And what effects does the mod have on the yoyo?

[Puffpwn]

NEEEEEECCCRROOOOO!!!!!!! Don't do this, look at the post dates please.

[yoyospirit]

NEEEEEECCCRROOOOO!!!!!!! Don't do this, look at the post dates please.

This wouldn't be considered a necro since it's a guide.  And no, this doesn't work with RBIIs.
