How do I make my Zhanchi smoother?

[Datak]

I modded my zhanchi by doing the corner and edge mod but it is not smooth. i dont know what to do

 

[drewsopchak]

What would you like to know?

 

[Riley]

Try lubing it. I suggest shock oil.

 

[Endgame]

break it in

 

[cubersmith]

Lubix is my preference. Either way, you need to lube it. If you already have, try tensioning it properly, cleaning it or re-lubing it with something else.

EDIT: You might have to break the cube or the lube in

EDIT 2: Ninja'd

 

[Datak]

I lubed it with lubix in the core and on the pieces

 

[EvanChao]

Guys do you have any nice ZhanChi modding video??

 

[cubernya]

Mod it, break it in, lube it

Break it in.

Lube it.

Tension it.

Remove the washers

Remove the washers

How exactly would that do any thing other than scratch up the inside of the center piece?

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Lube the core properly, there is a tutorial of crazybadcuber out there that tells you exactly how. Don't take out the washers, that will not help anything.

 

[Endgame]

My Zhanchi doesn't have washers and it turns very well

 

[Kattenvriendin]

That's cool. As long as the end of the spring doesn't get caught in the plastic.

I wonder what the inside of one of your center pieces looks like, just out of curiosity, without the lube and all, just to see it's current state and if any grinding of the spring has occurred in there.

Maybe ever-lube the cube a bit, then it should be smother.

Ever-lube?

CPM mod + 50k diff oil the core and pieces. That is all.

 

[GregTheCuber]

I meant over.

 

[Datak]

it is already modded
