As the Momentum MX was created to be optimal, The RSVP MX is a refined version of the later designed to be easier to make and to be more affordable.<ref name="podcast">UPSB Podcast #4 - Kam Interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRz1PFZ5aww</ref>

+==== Pens needed ====
-The RSVP MX stayed an iconic penmod throughout the penspinning history so that a lot of people made their own version : <br>
+Parts:
-* [[RSVP MX JeB version]]
+* [[Pentel R.S.V.P.]] (everything)
-* [[ Coffeelucky MX ]]
+* [[Pentel Hybrid Gel Grip]] (grip and tip)
-== Stuff needed ==
+Tools:
-=== Pens ===
+* '''(Optional)''' Sand paper or a lighter to round off the clip.
-* Pentel [[RSVP]]
+* '''(Optional)''' [[X-acto knife]] or some other tool for poking the back cap.
-* Pentel [[Hybrid Gel Grip]] (HGG)
+* '''(Optional)''' Tape or Blu Tack to wrap around the RSVP tip.
-=== Tools ===
+==== Assembly ====
-== Disassembling ==
+# Put the RSVP grip inside the RSVP cap.
-- Take the RSVP. Remove the cap, back plug, grip and ink tube. <br>
+# Remove the clip of the cap and '''(Optional)''' use the sandpaper to round off the stub.
-- Take the HGG. Remove the tip and grip.<br>
+# Screw the metal HGG tip onto the plastic RSVP tip.
-== Tutorial ==
+# Slide the HGG grip over the tip and front of the RSVP barrel to replace the missing RSVP grip.
-==== Step 1 ====
+# Put the RSVP cap (together with the RSVP grip inside it) back on the back of the RSVP.
-Remove the clip of the cap and use the sandpaper/lighter to round off the stub.
+# '''(Optional)''' Poke a hole in the back plug, stick the ink tube in reversed, place back onto the RSVP barrel.
-== How to improve the aesthetic  ==
+==== Customization ====
-=== Tip no.1 : Barrel ===
+As the HGG and the RSVP exist in a lot of different colors and versions and as the body of the RSVP is [[Insert|insertable]], the RSVP MX offers a large variety of color choices. The [[Insert|insert]] the most used were first the [[Kam insert]] but quickly became the [[Razen insert]], as it has been used by a lot of famous korean penspinners.
-=== Tip no.2 : Insert ===
+In the first version of the RSVP MX, it was advised to clear the writings of the body and to push the cap enough on the body so that it exceeds from a few millimeters over the backcap of the RSVP (preventing the mod to break)<ref name="podcast" />. But today, the writings are often left as they are and the cap is often pushed as little as possible. Reversing the inktube was an important step when the mod was created (this allowed to make the RSVP MX writable by removing the cap) but there are nowadays no clear preference among the penspinners to decide if it should be reversed or not. Reversing the inktube may lead to a more balanced penmod, but reversing it gives to the RSVP MX its unique inertia that some penspinners like a lot.

-Performance by [[Evolution]]
+The RSVP MX stayed an iconic penmod throughout the penspinning history so that a lot of variations appeared. Among the most famous, we can cite the [[Toro MX]], the [[Moonz MX]], or the [[Sunburst MX]]. Most of these variations only consist in changing the tip, the grip and/or the version of the RSVP used for the body. However, some more complex variations exist, like the [[Momentum MX]] or more recently the [[Coffeelucky MX]]
