Title: Anyone use one of these for a spinner top
Post by: BadBrad on May 04, 2006, 12:04:21 am

Seen these in Toys R Us and thought they might make a sweet spinner top.http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0009Q1UF4/qid=1146714729/br=1-4/ref=br_lf_t_4//102-5095628-0907308?v=glance&s=toys&n=13940901

Oooh, I was looking for a wheel for a Pole Postion Jakks bartop like MinerAl's.  This might be the ticket.

I wonder if you can get a set of spinners for your spinnner??? :laugh2:

Those look pretty cool...As long as they fit on the spinner shaft and there was a way to secure them, I don't see why they would not work.

I actually considered one of those, but the one's at walmart that day were bigger than I wanted...

Should work perfectly though.

They also make a skateboard wheel version that might work real good.  They are a little smaller diameter than the real wheels.

I actually have one of the Flywheels, that I got for my kids.  The things are well balanced, and you can get quite a velocity with them.
