valk 3 power setup?

[cuber314159]

Well I suppose I was the one who leaked the valk 3 power to the community back in July so...

The cube is great for F2L but when I am spamming TPS in LL I get lock ups and have to slow down meaning I average slower than with the MF3RS2 where I can make the cube turn fast when I want to but can also stay slower during F2L. Is there anyway to set up the cube to avoid this problem- I have put lubicle one in the cube and it is a bit better but still has problems. I feel it may be due to its lack of corner cutting, only doing 50,30.

How tight are your tensions? I'm getting a Cosmic Power M from SCS, so I haven't actually experience the cube yet. Sorry!

They are pretty tight, I haven't touched them since I got it. I reckon it won't hurt to loosen it, might do so?

Yeah, if they're tight, I would loosen them a little bit; see where it brings you!

I loosened them 3\8 of a turn and haven't tested it out enough yet, it's better but I'm not sure if it is very good

Got it. Does it feel too loose?

No, not to lose, might leave it there( kind of preferred it at 1/2 turn looser but they may be to much), I'm considering putting lubicle silk in there as it did well on my little magic but I'm not sure.

How is the speed? I like SCS Cosmic Lube; it is nice lube. But other than that, I can't really help you. Sorry!

Lubicle silk made my little magic a bit faster but a lot more stable

I'm still waiting on my Valk Power M. More then likely i am going to use weight 3 or 4 on the core and be done with it

I responded on ReddIt as well, but here's my copy paste from there:

I lubed the middle pieces and screw heads where the spring touches with some weight 5, and lubed all the pieces with a mix of martian and galaxy (about 75%/25% respectively). I have my tensions somewhat midway; not tight, but not super loose either. That being said, I have the Power M. Also, it took quite a few solves for it to get smooth and fast; after about 50-75 solves it lost the sandy gritty feeling that it had out of the box.
