    Default Should it vibrate alot at 5krpm??

    well i have just had replacement outer sphere and rotor support band for my neon pb and it runs smoothly but it starts to vibrate at 5k+ speeds. I was wondering if this is normal.

    Thanks for any replies

    Any vibration below 15k is not normal that's what is said.....

    Don't think this is normal....

    My one seems to vibrate, I'm not sure if it's the vibration or the resistance. How does it feel when it vibrates exactly?

    it vibrates like a ps2 or xbox controller vibrates.

    My one does that too... But I only had it for 3 days so far, so I'm guessing it's normal?

    I had the same problem and so has a friend, he asked for a new rotor and support band which is what fixed mine.

    Good Morning flip,

    Generally, when you find that the Powerball is not running 'smoothly', the best [initial] course of action is to open the little guy up and clean the dust from the various parts.

    Once you have done this, pop the bits back together and it should be back to normal!

    Regards

    Enda

    i have a neone greeen pb... and its vibrating.... i asked for a rotor a phew months ago.. and it seems that my friends messed up this rotor...
    the vibration its not THAT much but.. its not nice..... i dont want to abuse of the service that the company does.... but.. it would be ok to ask for a new rotor even if this one its vibrating a bit??
    PS:i lost the screws of the shell.. could it be that the problem??.

    just curious... are you spinning the ball when it is vibrating or are you getting the speed up and then just letting it run itself?

    cause my powerballs will sometimes vibrate if i hold them loosely and this will cause damage to the balls so make sure you are holding it tight i your hand while it speeds and AnD slows down.

    if yor're doing that and youve cleaned it and it still vibrates then i think it is broken
