I bought a tiled qj 4x4 from cube depot. Many of you know this is the one thats really big and has thick tiles..Really big tiles..Anyway, ever since i had it (like a year) it really hasnt been turning well. It locks up a lot and doesnt really cut corners well. And when i turn it, its really loud and makes what sounds like a grinding sound. And it looks like some of the pieces are scratched up inside. Does anyone know if i can lube it or something to do to make it better? Or are these cubes just generally not good? Also, if u have this cube, what is your response about it?

Try shaving down the sharp corners and mabey some parts of the edges and lube it with CRC or something. QJ 4X4's are no the best ones out there.

hi guys

im modding my zhanchi (just rounding down corners and 48 pe mod)

im using a nail file, but it doesnt remove the plastic quickly enough and on the corners i need to remove a lot of plastic

im already almost done so this is just for future reference, but how can i speed up the rounding-down process?

You can get yourself a dremel or some sandpaper.

What's the quietest cube out there? Zhanchis don't go over well with my teacher.

My F-II is really quiet.

Edit:
Could someone direct me to a Square-1 tutorial. I would like multiple to chose from. I would like some text as well as video.
I know I'm asking people to do work for me but the only tutorial that's even decent that I've found is Thrawsts which I don't like.

What would be the best way to lube the qj 4x4 since it has a ball core?

I would do:

F' r' U' R' D' x' u' R (7) but its not fast

 

[Noahaha]

Alright, the move at :29 for me does not work http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNh4NZKHc_Q

I would say just try a different tutorial. There are plenty out there. A different one might show it more clearly.

So with my tiled qj 4x4. I put some jigaloo on it, and it did improve it. I think my problem now is that its very loud and grinding when it moves. Also, it locks up quite often, and solving becomes difficult. Even R U R' U' can be difficult. Any ideas how to fix it. I dont mind the loudness, but the locking up is bad.

I got a SS 4x4 a couple days ago and I've been practising it a lot. I've got my times down to about 2 minutes but have yet to reach sub 2. It's not broken in that much but it locks up heaps... should I go ahead and mod it now or play around with it a bit more?

Thanks
