How to Make a Beyblade Spin Faster

Beyblade players construct multi-part plastic and metal tops for duels with other players. These tops, known as Beyblades, spin on surfaces known as Beyblade arenas in an attempt to knock all other Beyblades out of the arena or prevent them from spinning. Many Beyblade designs revolve around being exceptionally stable or slow and powerful. Others require speed and agility to win. Speed-based Beyblades perform best when designed with lightweight parts and launched at the highest spin speeds possible.

Things You'll Need

Beyblade parts
Beyblade launcher
Beyblade arena
Hobby knife

Instructions

- 1
  Assemble your Beyblade with speed in mind. Use only lightweight parts for the spin gear, weight disk and blade base. Heavier face bolts and attack rings will impart greater stability or more powerful attacks, but they run the risk of slowing down your Beyblade.
- 2
  Practice with your launcher to attain the maximum launch speeds. Launchers use different mechanisms, ranging from simple pull strings to advanced winders, and it takes practice to use them effectively. Take part in matches with friends and spend some time by yourself working on the technique required for your launcher.
- 3
  Launch your Beyblade so that it charges down from the upper portions of the Beyblade arena. This adds speed and momentum to your Beyblade before it comes into contact with those of opponents. Try for the highest possible launch point that does not risk your Beyblade going over the arena's edge.
- 4
  Customize your Beyblade further by removing excess plastic or metal from the pieces. Use a hobby knife to pare away unnecessary material. Children should ask a grown-up for assistance. Bear in mind that many tournaments prohibit Beyblades with parts modified from those sold by Takara-Tomy or Hasbro.
