So I've had my Yuxin for a while and I see that it has some problems.
Inner layers too slow
corner cutting
tensions
very generic
idk....
Well, after like 400-500 solves, I decided that I should probably mod it.
So heres what I did in order:
Sanded down all edges and centers
broke in
lubed pieces
broke in
tensioned
awesome cube
So breaking it down:
I sanded the edges and centers with medium grit sandpaper, giving the cube a MUCH faster feel. I think the centers were effected more, making the inner layers speed up.
I broke it in a bit and it started to get really nice
I lubed it to change the feel, making it a bit smoother on the inner layers and somewhat on the outer layers.
It took about 2 hours to fully break in the lube. Now, the cube had a really good performance.
However, it was a bit off on the tensions. Some sides too tight, some sides too loose. So I tensioned it, and now there are no locks or pops. Corner cutting is just below 45, and reverse is about 1/3 of a cubie.
Now, the cube is really nice and is almost half the price of the AoSu. I feel no need to get any other 4x4s unless a major breakthough in hardware happens. This cube is smooth, fast, stable and has great corner cutting.
I think this mod really works and will transform your Yuxin.
This is dropping me about 10 seconds in my avg.
P.S. During this process, I never had to take the cube apart and only once did a small internal pop out before I tensioned it, so no assembly is required.
