BBG-03 Beyblade Start Dash Set

The most important Zero G Set has arrived~

BBG-03 Beyblade Start Dash Set
This is a must have for all bladers new to Zero G as you will need THE Zero G Stadium and since it comes with a limited color "Samurai Ifraid W145CF Burning Version" its a great set to start with.

Contents Include:
Zero G Stadium (Top Cover & Bottom Arena)
3 Fixing Pegs (6 parts)
Zero G Compact Launcher w/ Ripcord (Red)
Stickers & Instructions

Clear Stone FaceBolt (Blank)
Samurai Crystal Wheel (Crimson Vermillion)
Ifraid Chromium Wheel
Wing 145 Track (Clear Red)
Circle Flat Bottom (Clear Red)


The Set comes with a Limited Edition 'Hittsatsu Tengi' Samurai Ifraid W145CF Burning Version. Which is basically a recolored original in Vermillion and Red to signify its Special Attack in the anime.

The Zero G Compact Launcher also comes in a Red color instead of the standard blue one from BBG-01. Gear ratio and functions have no differ.


Before you can start, you have to put the Stadium together first.

 
The Zero G stadium consist of this major parts, the Top Cover, The Arena Base and the Fixing Pegs.

 
But before you start a little "mori.m tip" for you. The Zero G stadium, like any other Beystadiums will wear and tear as time goes by, so before you start , it would be good to do some 'Protection' to the Impact points around the Stadium Out Pockets using 'Clear Tape' to increase it Durability. 

After you are done,place the lid on and position the Fixing Peg in the 'Square' Holes between the Cover and Base.

Fit the Top Peg on and twist clockwise until you hear/feel a 'click'. If not, try to reposition the Peg again. It should fit on and click easily if it is not doing so, the position of the bottom Peg is off.


After you are done with all three Fixing Pegs its done~
Generally the overall material and construction of the Zero G stadium feels more rugged. The thickness of the Bottom Base is also much thicker when compared the past Standard Attack Stadium.

The Stadium with the standard BBG-01 Samurai Ifraid W145CF in it, moves quite abit, wobbles and tilts but not as 'vigourous' as i thought it would.

Here you see the Circle Flat (CF) Bottom in action, using its 'second' layer circular frame to axle itself along the high tilt angle of the Zero G Stadium.

 
The Stadium Out 'Pockets' are quite difficult to access when you are playing a stamina battle. As the tilt angle of the Stadium is pretty steep, it makes it almost impossible for a heavier Bey to climb up and into the Gap even with RF or XF Bottoms. It took me couple of very strong 'angled' shots to get a stadium out. So do not worry too much unless you are using a very light Bey with XF.

Defence Bottom Types like Shinobi Saramanda SW145SD tends to just stay in the center when launched in the stadium. Not as 'exciting' as the CF in performance.


When pitted against an Attack type Bey, in this case, 'Big Bang Pegasis V145RF' the countering movements made the Zero G Stadium Tilt and Rotate. 

Apparently the angle of the tilt and rotation is 'controlled' by the Attack Bey. This is not as simple and straight forward as the previous Bey Battles in a standard attack Stadium anymore.

Its quite difficult to explain but here's the run down.
Heavier Beys causes the Stadium to be 'Static' and do not move around as much, they are much more difficult to Stadium Out. Attack Beys with high recoils will get the Most out of the Performance in this Stadium as the Recoil Force and Attack based bottoms will Tilt and Rotate the Stadium, increase the chances of Stadium Out. Light Beys are quite Fatal in the Stadium, somehow lighter beys have very low Stamina when it comes to surviving in the Zero G Stadium. Not only are they easy to Stadium Out, they are most of the time being 'controlled' around by the Tilting of the Stadium and at time 'Flung' upside down by the High Tilt angled walls. 

Battles are also short, not lasting more than a minute even in stamina battles. The high tilted walls of the stadium are taking away lots of Stamina as the 'contact' surface of the bottoms gets alot of fiction even with the slightest tilt in angle. Bottoms with sharp and little surface contact subject the Beys to higher tilts and the Chromium Wheel or Metal Wheel will touch the Stadium wall in the process, incurring in a MW slide death.

Very in depth indeed. Its like all the beys and parts all function differently in this Zero G Stadium. Alot of re-experimentation needs to be done and reconfiguration of Beys are also needed. Don't expect to win in this Stadium with your 'Basalt Kerbecs BD145CS', try it out when you can and you will know why.

Overall, the BBG-03 Beyblade Start Dash Set is a Must get for new Zero G bladers and Collectors alike. A great start set to practice and custom you own style of Zero G Blading!

BBG-01 Samurai Ifraid W145CF

With the End of the 4D season, comes the next ZERO G!


BBG-01 Samurai Ifraid W145CF


Contents Include:
Clear Stone FaceBolt (Blank) - 1.23g
Samurai Crystal Wheel - 5.32g
Ifraid Chromium Wheel - 30.35g
Wing 145 Track - 2.18g
Circle Flat Bottom - 2.49g
Zero G Compact Launcher w/ Ripcord
Stickers & Instructions

Features
Samurai Crystal Wheel and Ifraid Chromium Wheel


The new season of Zero G bey revamped quite abit on its overall design and concept. Thou the widely popular 4D system was a hit, it lacks customisation in its Metal Wheel. Thus, in Zero G new parts were introduced! The past Clear Wheel is now replaced with 'Crystal Wheel' and the Metal Wheel is called 'Chromium Wheel', try to remember that ya~


The CrW and ChW are of similar diameter and can fit on each other snugly with the Peg and Hole interlock system within them.


The Mode change of the Zero G system involves interflipping of the CrW and ChW portion. Namely 'Chrome UP' and 'Crystal UP' modes.


The ChW can also combine with another ChW to form a 'SynChrom' combination, this combination greatly increases the weight and capabilities. The CrW have longer 'Pegs' and have no 'Hole' slots, thus can't combine with itself.


The 'SynChrom' Ifraid weighs a 60.58g alone, much heavier than 4D's Diablo MW at 51.38g.  


Stone FaceBolt


The Zero G also revamped its FaceBolt parts, the new 'Stone FaceBolt' has 8 sides compared to the conventional 6 sided FaceBolt from the past series. The New Stone FaceBolt CANNOT fit with the older series Beys as it is only accustom to the CrW and ChW system.


Wing 145 Track


The W145 Track is another addition to the "Wing" series with 6 Fins, the fins works similar to Down Force 145 (DF145), but have more fins.


Circle Flat Bottom


Samurai Ifraid's special Part will have to be the CF. The Circle Flat is basically a Wide Flat (WF) with an additional Circular plate around the top. Diameter roughly the size of the Shield 145 (S145) Track.


The CF is a performace part made specially for the Zero G Stadium. The CF is able to cope with high tilts and rapid changing surface angles with its Dual Contact Point system. Upon a high angke tilt, the CF is able to counteract the angle with the 'Circular' plate and evade a slide out. The Dual Contact Point also allows the Bey to pick up Speed around the edges of the Stadium.


Zero G Compact Launcher


The New Compact Launcher is similar to the Light Launcher 2 from the past series. But Smaller. It still uses the standard Ripcord form the past Series.


In comparison to the LL2 the Compact Launcher is much smaller and 'Compact'


Its also a 2 in 1 with in-built tool to tighten ot loosen your FaceBolt or Bottom Bey Parts.


An addition point about the new Launcher is the Poly Carbonate Ripcord Shield. For those who have been using a Ripcord Launcher will notice that long term usage causes the insert of the LL2 to crack due to friction caused by the Ripcord. Thus the addition of the Shield which is made of a more durable material, PC. A great improvement to make the launcher last longer.    


Overall the Zero G System Beys packed in more customisation in its Metal Wheel portion. The whole 'Attacking' or 'Contact' portion will be completely Metal in 'SynChrom' Mode. At the moment, until more parts come in, its difficult to determine the capabilities and performance in the Zero G stadium. But for now the Samurai Ifraid W145CF with its Circle Flat Bottom Part is a must have for attack players.
