    Hello everyone, Due to the many requests on youtube, and finally obtaining all of the materials, i have made a tutorial for my yellow mod named Yelo mod. [video=youtube;kz5PdtCYXEw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kz5PdtCYXEw[/video] Lets get started. Description: -COG=COP -Price: ~15 -Double capped -Weight: Cheat comssa < Yelo < Buster CYL -Writable: no -Length: 21 cm Materials Needed: -sticky tack -Transparent tape Pens Needed: x1 Bellcolor x2 comssa caps x2 HGR tips x2 Impact RT tips (the tips used for the impact MX) x2 Metallic Gel grips or Needle point grips (the pens used for Seven mod) I know bellcolors are sometimes hard to get, especially if you are looking for a specific color. I have found that pentel Color Fine Point markers are just as good. Step 1: Prepping the body. Remove the inktube from the Bellcolor and fut off the tip so that only 1 cm is left. Step 2: Cut yourself a piece of 1.5" of Transparent tape, then cut it down the middle to make it thinner and wrap it around the backplug of the bellcolor Step 3: Cut yourself another piece of Transparent tape. This time it should be at least 2 inches. Then wrap it around the tip of the bellcolor (the side where you cut in step 1). Make sure when wrapping the tape, have the tape go around the main part of the bellcolors body about a half a cm as well. Step 4: Prepping the Caps Add a small amount of sticky tack to the nub of the comssa cap. Step 5: Get the HGR tip and stuff it down the nub with the sticky tack. The sticky tack should hold the tip in place. If there is any Sticky tack visible, remove it. Step 6: Add a little more sticky tack around the hgr tip. Step 7: Now place the Impact tip over the HGR tip. The sticky tack should hold the Impact tip in place. Step 8: Wrap TIGHTLY about 1" of Transparent tape around the impact tip and comssa cap. The tape should go up to but not pass the distinct line on the Impact RT tip. Step 9: Place the Metallic Gel/Needle point grip on the comssa cap so that 1cm of the impact tip should be exposed. Step 10: Follow steps 4-9 again to assemble the second cap. Step 11: Assembly of final mod Add both caps that you made in step 4-9 on both ends of the prepped body in step 1-3. If the caps are loose, go back and add a little more tape around the ends of the Bellcolor. You are done! Happy spinning.

    @TEK do u mean hyper gel grips?

  5. Nachoaddict
    Date: Sun, Jan 30 2011 20:52:42

    Those are needlepoint bro. Hyperjell grips would be such a pain to pull over comssa caps. Plus hyperjell yellow doesn't match comssa yellow. I'm sure you can try spoko if it's too hard to get metallic gel or needlepoint grips in yellow

    Would it still be a Yelo mod if I use a yellow playcolor2 body?

  11. TEK
    Date: Mon, Feb 7 2011 17:20:52

    i wouldn't say it would be the same or similar. A comssa, pentel color, marvy, or any similar pen would pass because they have similar thickness and length. playcolors are a little too different.

    A marvy from penwish, pentel color, or comssa would work. However the lengths might vary.

    hgg tips would work for this but it would be lighter of course. In general, hggs will not work because they are pretty different in shape, weight, and properties. I haven't seen a tip on the market that is similar to hgr's which is sad. HGR's are hard to find in stores but quite easy to find online. I've seen them on the pentel store and amazon.

    You say that like everyone has the same taste in colors as you :P. Everyone has a different taste, i like single colors for the mods i spin. :) I'm sure you can make one yourself with the colors you like. Good luck.

    1.) Yep, he says the Pentel Color s360 works too. 2.) You can use any yellow grip that fits on comssa caps. Or just any grip that you want that fits on comssa caps.

    anyball, or sailor from pw. if you want metallic gel, youll have to buy two packs from pw, or just chance it and buy a few

  47. Cloud
    Date: Wed, Jun 15 2011 00:40:27

    most likely you wont get it if you chance it. trust me, you will most likely get the other colors, since yellow metallic gel grips are in such high demand. Penwish wont let you chose because he cant buy them individually and everyone wants yellows so it will go instantly out of stock. hence, the random. as for subs, you can basically use any grip that fits. it wont change the mod much spinning wise. aesthetically, it wont look as nice but those grips are extremely hard to get.

  48. Nachoaddict
    Date: Wed, Jun 15 2011 01:05:26

    Just buy the whole pack xD or two whole packs. Then sell off the other colors you don't want.

    ima make a blu one! but the weight description Cheat comssa < Yelo < Buster CYL doesnt make sense... i belive, and could be wrong, impact tips are less than signo tips, and hgr are more than hgg (but i dont kno how much) so it seems it wont be too much more than a cheat comssa. also, given that a cheat comssa and a buster are very different in weight it seem there could be something more accurate Cheat comssa < Yelo < [B]Dr. KT[/B] just my two cents, hope it made sense

  54. V-Storm
    Date: Sat, Jun 18 2011 00:31:18

    HGR tips are nearly 2 times heavier, last time I checked, and Impact RT are heavier than signo as well, (somewhat).

    oh i didnt know that, about the hgr. but im pretty sure impact tips are lighter than signo, by a tenth of a gram. signo is 1.7 and irt is 1.6. so thats why i thought the weighing wasnt too accurate. i have no doubt that its heavier than a cheat comssa. but i do have a doubt it should be compared to a buster. but im making a blu version so ill soon see the actually weight

    Date: Sun, Jun 19 2011 23:50:30

    @Spin4fun not sure if you still need this but metallic gels and needlepoint grips are identical. however they come in different colors. metallic gels are basically the fluorescent version of needlepoints. not sure if there are yellow needlepoints, only seen in black, blue and red.

    My Scale is bad too... But I think I saw Colin weigh them as what I said, may be syrti or somebody. And I thought I said I don't doubt it being heavier than a cheat comssa. My doubt was it should be compared to a buster. Maybe a KT or something would be better to compare

    @JackyMacky the only thing is, 1. if you're subbing a bellcolor body, its not the original anymore. Why not sub the metallic gel to 2. i highly recommend AGAINST buying the random colors. Its basically impossible to get yellow that way. Trust me, i know. Penwish used to let you chose if you pm him, (thats how i got my yellow ones) but not anymore. There is too high of a demand for the yellows so pw wont let you do that anymore. He might have run out of single ones. The only reliable way to get those are by buying the whole pack and selling the ones you dont want.

    I'd rather buy the S360 then waste my time looking for bellcolors. Besides, I want to spin this immediately. :) Not collect it. Oh yeah, the colors, I'm not wasting 31 bucks to by 2 6-packs for yellow. Random color? Fine.

    Date: Thu, Jun 30 2011 04:23:13

    @JackyMacky Well then you cant really say it's not hard to get the parts. When you are saying that, you are implying that the original parts used in the mod are easy to get. That's not true. It's pretty easy to find the parts, only hard to get. Why? Because its extremely difficult to get yellow Metallic Gels. If you want random colors then have fun, but honestly, it wont look so good with an orange and purple grip. As for Bellcolors are pretty hard to get in a certain color. I've tried s360's as subs, they're terrible. Most people want a spinanble mod that also looks nice. Plus, a lot of people want the original colors because that's TEK's original.

  69. JackyMacky
    Date: Thu, Jun 30 2011 15:43:38

    @Cloud It's not THAT hard to get the parts. Please read. Hehe. And I'll clarify my original post then. It's for the people who are lazy to find the parts. I don't expect everyone to agree with what I've found but I'm just trying to make things a little easier, despite the fact that I exaggerated on the efficiency to get parts. If not Yellow Metallic gels, I'll make other color variations of the Yelo mod and use it as my own. LMAO, yeah....I'm buying all colors of the S360. :3

    No i don't think they are. from HERE I found this picture showing all three HGRs. The bottom one is the really old ones with the same tips as the HGG pen. The second one from the bottom is a also HGR and has the same tips as well as grips, as HGG. The new one has a silver grip and has a fat tip with a lip( if you can see). This i am pretty sure is the one used in the mod. So @Dern Goid is right. Also please don't bump old threads unless it is necessary. I mean i don't want to be THAT guy but seriously it helps the mods. (Besides someone else is going to tell you anyway ^^) Happy Spinning (and Modding) Regards Zen

    Wut, how is it reviving if I had a question about the mod. I could have asked it mod question area but I would have liked if someone had the same question he can see it here. I don't think that it's reviving, reviving a post about a event is stupid but reviving something that is debatable and questions shouldn't be reviving if it's a question about the question?
