Hello Mythroller!


Let's get right to it.


If you're here it's likely because you've got a Wave 1 version of the RPG Spinner (either the 20/10 or the 4:8/6:12 version and the bearings have fallen out or the spinner top is tightening or loosening upon use. 


That blows. Here's an explanation of the problem, and a suggested solution. 


Problem: At the bottom of the spinner, you'll notice a small hole. It may be covered (yellow sticker) or not (screw is visible). This small screw goes up through the middle of the spinner into a shaft which is molded into the top ball. To hold this screw to the ideal tension, there is a setting paste which allows the screw to be tightened to the correct depth, which then hardens and is supposed to hold that depth and tension and keep the bearings in the track. However, we've discovered that the paste used to hold the screw in place, can harden, and let go of the screw. When this happens, spinning the spinner clockwise will tighten the screw, while spinning it counter-clockwise will loosen it. 


Solution: 

    TOOLS REQUIRED: Small Phillips Screwdriver, Bowl or container for bearings, Superglue or Lok-tight compound.

1. With a small screwdriver, remove the single bottom screw by turning it counter-clockwise, being careful to (if the bearings are still in the bearing channel) do it over a container which will catch all of the bearings. (You don't want those little guys to go traipsing into the nether.) 

2. Once the screw has been removed, remove the top ball and make sure the bearing channel is clean. If it isn't, feel free to clean it out with a dust-free cloth. 

3. Place all the bearings back in the channel. 

SPECIAL NOTE: The 4:8/6:12 has two indicator bearings. They must be in the exact opposite position in the channel otherwise you'll get roll results that are unbalanced! Since the 20/10 only has one bearing, this concern doesn't apply.

4. With all the bearings properly positioned in the channel, place the top spinner's screw chamber back into the middle of the spinner. 

5. Holding everything tightly together, pick up the spinner and turn it upside down. (This might take a few attempts... but under tension, all of the bearings will stay inside the channel). 

6Dip the threads of the screw into the Superglue or Lok-tight compound. 

7. Place the screw into the hole and turn it clockwise, being careful NOT TO ADD TOO MUCH TENSION. Very small incremental turns make a BIG difference at these tolerances, and if over-tensioned, the screw will break. 

8. Once at the ideal tension, set your spinner somewhere for 24 hours to let the compound dry. 

9. SPIN AWAY! This solution should last for a very long time as these binding compounds are intended to "weld" elements together. 


We do want to say we apologize for not considering this particular flaw in the design and are working to improve the products so that in the future, these won't be problems our Mythrollers face.
