ok well i got the zhanchi and after 2 days and reading alot of reviews im ready to give yall some advice on how you can change the cube to your liking ie corner cutting , loose, speed,slow qiute,and no lock ups.

for those who think this cube moves to fast i am really jelous you got lucky.
you can slow it down ,clean it !!!! take it apart and slow it down by that i mean take the lube off it will give it more friction,
for some reason if that dose not give it enough friction if you wash all the plastics with water from your faucet it will add the minerals from your water and(watch out for rust) the minerals will add more friction

but some of us like me
need it faster like mine was a diy kit and it just needs some love, time, and silcone so far i have a great way to lubricate it well wit hsilicone take a paper towel take your cube apart and spray the corner of the paper towel with silcon and rube every surfact besides stickers with silcone and let dry for like 30 minutues or until dry just make sure its dry before using

tensioning the springs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok this is abig one well its pretty easy to but if u are having problems
this cube is a real tight cube otherwise it explodes but there is a small iwndow where the tension is perfect with out modding besideds cutting extra plastic off(not required )


here is how i find it start looserish and kepp tightining it and what you are looking for is this
when you place the edge pieces corner to the middle of the line

like dat and yo ucan cut that corner with no problem onec you cant cut that corner with no problem and if you tighten it anymore than your more than good your GREAT!


but you can adjust that to your liking just how i found it


springs and washer

just try mixing up the ordertake both washers out

put a washer under the plastic piece

put both under the plastic piece

try with one less washer

try with extra washers



real big idea me and my friend did




huge!!!!!!!!!





i mean really cool





worked better with other cubes or leave out washers or something depending on your springs

cut three pen springs in half and put them in your springs place

reason is because i love really loose cubes

if you mess with the washers and springs see what they feel like i hope to see some replys and tell me if i need to ed this better
