 A little too heavy for my taste...  I wonder what I could do to make it a little lighter.  Hey, what is this inside my Novus?  If I push these brass nuts out...  and replace them with something a little less dense and heavy...  That was pretty easy to push into place.  What? 4 grams lighter in a matter of seconds. I wonder if I will be able to add more weight in the future.

On a slightly heavier note, tungsten is even denser than uranium...hint...hint...

If you want lighter yo-yos Paul, I would have Shawn look into magnesium tips. From talking to Ernie at Gen-Yo, Mg is a pain in the but to machine so it might be a no go for Mg tips.

Re: A little too heavy for my taste... man, I got one of these in the modder fodder package, and wow this is gonna be the mona lisa for OD, really really stepped their game up, also the axle system is probably the most genius idea I've ever seen, one of the main problems I ahve with metals is wear on the seat causing vibe, and this basically makes it possible to fix this problem with a 5 dollar axle..genius is all I can say
