Pretty much

Pretty much

At your sig - I use a Guhong v1 or a lingyun v2 as my main depending on what feels better at the time (usually ly v2 for 2H, gh v1 for OH)
But my guhong v1 is seriously modded

Spoiler

godly mods (torpedos, cpm)
48 PEM
Sanded the bumps on corners
did a modified florian 5x5 mod
lubixed (to the core)
c4y core

Yeah, it's pretty awesome.

 

[5BLD]

Wait, so is it just a GuHong 1?

Nah, sgot the core.
Edit: just realised its got guhongII edges, just no torps

 

[Ickathu]

Edit: just realised its got guhongII edges, just no torps

Guhong 2 core
Guhong 2 edges (- torpedos)
Guhong 1 corners
Right?
Any mods? lubed with lubix, traxxas, diff oil, etc?

 

[5BLD]

Yeah.

Corners: AV mod
Edges:48P
Centres: CPM
Lube: CRC silicone mixed with diff oil then applied

Zhanchi with Cube4You core?

hi guys. some people said that if you replace your regular core with a c4u core and spring, it will be much faster. can you confirm this? i dont wanna spend my money if it doesnt really change the feel. thanks!

Edit:

NO NO NO stay away. If you do this the screws will get really tight without actually making the cube tight. Then it's all loose then pops a lot.

Okay. thanks for informing me.

I couldn't find this anywhere so
Why would u switch core?

 

[dkbrigzs]

i suggest guhong 1 centers and Zhanchi corner and edges, tried and tested it is just smooth, nothing more,

and some hybrid to Zhanchi

black core from Clown cube (i just sand the core to make it smaller don't wanna waste some dayan cores), dayan Screws and lube, my lube is white grease from tamiya and lubix, i don't find any problem about my zhanchi and it feels great to me,

 

[QuangNguyen]

Did anyone tried maru core and hardware set on dayan zhanchi or ss5?

I honestly think that all those cubes are good on their own.

Hybrid cubes vs DIY cubes!

I know there have been many threads about hybrid cubes and the are "overrated" , but I'm curious as to who actually uses them or if you use a DIY cube. If you use a hybrid cube please tell what cubies and core it's made of etc. and other things you would like to add on. And if you use a DIY what DIY.

I like my Dayan Linguyn with a C4U core, it's awesome!

 

[somerandomkidmike]

Right now I'm using a YJ Finhop and Alpha V-f hybrid as my main. It reverse corner cuts around 1/2 a cubie, and can cut corners almost 45 degrees (with minimal effort). The mixture of the "cheap" plastic on the centers/edges, and the "good" plastic on the Alpha V-f provides a good base for a fast cube.

Basically, the Alpha V-f corners have the Haiyan Memory cube mod (took away quite a bit of plastic) and the centers on the YJ have been slightly rounded. I've broken the cube in with Jig-A-Loo a couple of times, and cleaned it out. After cleaning out the Jig-A-Loo, I put lubix in it. I am using this over my ZhanChi and LunHui.

The only problem I have with this cube is that the corners are black, and the edges/centers are white. Stickers all match though.

~snip~

that's pretty good O_o

 

[Lchu613]

I'm borrowing my friend's stickerless guhong v1 cause my zhanchi died(some ***** at school stole it and threw the pieces away). I randomly put the guhong pieces on the (stickered) zhanchi core & center pieces. It works ok, nothing great.l, but it looks really funny.
Whatever.

Looking For the best hybrid cube

Hello first of all I'd like to say my English isn't to good but ill try my best

I'm looking for a hybrid cube that is overall best i don't want a cube as close to perfect as possible I'm not looking for a cube that just extremely fast or is just very forgiving.I'm looking for a cube that is very balanced, and i would also like to use a c4y core in it with Dayan hardware.

please be nice and don't be rude or mean to any of the other posters but do tell me if their hybrid isn't good but also say if you like their hybrid

I might later make a poll of the top hybrids in which case vote honestly
