    It's ChauTran personal mod... he invented it at the beginning of May 2009
    I think it's very good for both pros and beginners
    I have two... I usually spin it sleep(1).gif
    Edit some informations:
    The materials are very easy to find in everywhere
    And it only costs under 3.5 $, very cheap, right
    It's also very good for spinning all tricks...
    I have two Ficos, I usually spin them, really good sleep(1).gif

    I like it. It seems easy to build, and it's cheap. <3 Unfortunately, there aren't many mods that can be built with parts bought in my country. :/

    There's no way this thing can be 23cm long, that's fucking gigantic. Unless chautran's hand is the size of godzilla i'd re-check the length.

    looks pretty damn long but not 23 cm sheesh. eh he may also just be inexplicably spinning an exceptionally long mod.

    the water pipe to replace the dr. grip is pretty inventive. how does it feel? easy to cut?

    Looks like a nice mod, although I can't find some of the parts. I'll make it if I can get them.

    Thanks for posting this happy.gif

    I really can't imagine this being Chautran's mod sleep(1).gif
    Chau has pretty small hands, and from the personal mods that he's told me about, they're all pretty short, like ~18 cm. Nothing's ever came up when we talked about his personal mods that was 20cm+

    Wait... Pilot Color mod is also one of ChauTran's personal mod
    And it's about 22cm, guys sleep(1).gif
    Only ATMX, GPMX ( also two of ChauTran's personal mod) are shorter than 20 sleep(1).gif
