Spin Gear: Right Engine Gear (Metal Flat)

Weight: 10.9g

• • Engine Gear with a wide metal tip, similar in width to SG Metal Flat Base (Gaia Dragoon V Version).

  • Requires fairly deep banking to flower, but can flower quite well.

  • Until recently was considered "okay" but not exceptional - the best offensive Engine Gear and most practical due to a good tip shape but overall being outclassed by SG Metal Flat Base (Gaia Dragoon V Version) due to the apparently useless, pattern breaking gimmick, and the poorer Blade Base options.

  • To that end it was usually used for normal Smash Attack often unwound and using a small Blade Base like Normal Base (Wolborg 4 Version) and an overhanging Attack Ring like Triple Tiger.

  • More recently, WBO member Broyeeto discovered that with Final Clutch Base (Gaia Dragoon G Version) the EG has additional use, providing a late burst of engine spin as the Beyblade topples creating a unique type of Life After Death. Further experimentation found Final Clutch Base (Dranzer G Version) is able to do the same.

  • Using it in this setup (dubbed "V8 Combo") produces a unique type of Right Spin Spin-Stealing Attack which both gets a decent boost from the Engine Gear for late game KOs and the aforementioned late game Burst for LAD.

  • The LAD is quite significant - allowing V8 Combos to OS some Defensive Zombies in opposite spin - a major sticking point for other Right Spin SSA. 

  • Alongside additional bulk, this makes them arguably the best Right Spin SSA option, though they struggle somewhat with Circle Survivor combos and can be knocked out by Driger V2 Customs.

  • By far the best standard Engine Gear and the only one to make competitive use of the Engine Gear gimmick - and of course, it was the only one that Hasbro didn't release a CEW version of.
