I have done the MMPi mod on my V6 around the start of January, but every time i solve it the cube ALWAYS comes out of alignment. It happens around 7-10 times a solve. It isn't hard to fix the problem while solving, but it just becomes frustrating. Do you think my pins are too small, or shall i just live with it? Thanks in advance.

What pops more zhanchi or guhong v2? And the lingyun v2 is crunchy and crispy right?

My gh2 pops a little more when solving but my zhanchi is 'easier to pop' if that makes sense.

A picture would help, but I guess it's too short or they fell out.

Of just the pins? I'll get it up later, thanks.

The best alg for "CHECKERS PATTERN"?

The best alg for "CHECKERS PATTERN"?

M2 E2 S2

 

[Sillas]

M2 E2 S2

More fast?
To Checkers pattern attack, begining with timer and hands out of the cube.

The best alg for "CHECKERS PATTERN"?

R2 L2 U2 D2 F2 B2 (basically M2 E2 S2, but without slices)

More fast?

Fastest you'll get

 

[aaronb]

M2 E2 S2

Noob, the best algorithm for that is clearly E2 S2 M2.

But seriously, for speed I do the checkered pattern as r2' R2 E2 S2' I do the E2' with my right, doing 2 "flicks." And I do the S2' with my right thumb, doing 2 "flicks."

With torpedoes, the Zhanchi has 2 defenses of anti-popping system, it should be supposedly sturdier than the Guhong V2, but Guhong V2 also has torpedoes and only 1 line of defense, but when solving, you notice almost no difference at all. Torpedoes out, Guhong V2 goes to no defense at all, whilst Zhanchi is specially molded with wings to prevent pops. I still think the Guhong V2 is slightly flimsier if that is the word to use, since you know....

I doubt there is a faster way to this except for substituting slices with outer moves. Try doing that in any position you want since you are timing it single.

Lingyun center pieces?

I have a lingyun2 and 4 of the 6 center pieces have cracks in them where the screw meets the core. Is there anyway to get new center pieces and not have to buy a new cube?

Nope. Unless you contact a store owner and then they might give you new center pieces but with the purchase of another cube.

My guhong is very gummy and very very slow. I'm still waiting for the lubix I ordered.
But while I'm waiting for the lubix, I'm still working with my gohung a few hours a day, and I can feel how it turns slower and gummier every day.
My question is: Should I give my guhong a rest until the lubix arrives? If I keep practicing my guhung, will I damage it?

Your cube wont be damaged. Why is it gummy?

I never lubricated it. Took me a while to find out about lubix, and I don't want to put in my guhong the same **** I did in my rubik's cube.

Hi. How do I generate ZBLL algs using Cube Explorer? I tried doing it but failed to get multiple algs for each case. What do you need to grey out/slash/or whatever? I attempted doing COLL by yellowslashing the U-face edges and greying out the FU RU LU BU edges, and succeeded. However I have no clue how to do ZBLL. Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Does anyone know where i can buy a speedstacks timer V2 for a reasonable price? Speedstacks.com only sells the v3 now

Or does anyone have one they could sell me?

Choose one piece, say an edge, and right click on both stickers. They will grey out. Now when you click "solve" a dialogue box will open which will display the results of the search.

On the Lubix website. There's a drop down box for the torpedos and it says Guhong Kit and Guhong(x2) both for the same price. What is the difference?

That looks like a simple typo. The difference should be that you get 1 kit of 12 torpedoes for 5.99 and 2 kits for 9.99.
