Changelog
5/13/26 – Flames version no longer requires an additional 608 bearing
The additional bearing for the flames connection wasn't really adding much additional motion. In testing, the tail fins generate most of the spinning action. The flames now attached with a threaded connection, and you only need 2 bearings total.
