In Reply to: Happs Arkinoid Replacement Spinner - stiff rotation posted by Craig on 16, 2000 at 9:58 PM:
Arkanoid spinners use gears and are not supposed to continue to freewheel after you let go -- like a Tron or Tempest spinner.
From what I have seen of the Happs spinner, you're not going to get it to freewheel with all of the drag of the gears.
: I just bought a Happs Arkinoid Spinner and it has a very stiff rotation. I was wondering if anybody else out there has bought one and how they like it in its current state or if they have figured out a way to make it turn a little more freely. I have shown one of my friends (who built project #180) and he also agrees it is really tough to turn. I hate to tear it apart to rework the gears after I have spend all that money on it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
