Aolong V2 Mod ( For smoother turning )

Moyu Aolong v2 Cube4you mod

Materials:
- x1 Moyu Aolong V2
- x1 Cube4you red/orange core

I got inspiration for this mod from Pestvic and Yu Nakajima, and I decided to try it on some more current puzzles. The reason this mod works is the same reason it worked on the zhanchi a while back.

The core itself is made of really strong material that lets your screws go in a lot straighter than stock cores. This ensures smooth and even turning throughout your puzzle. While it may not be a drastic change, it improves the feeling of the cube. I prefer quieter cubes as opposed to the clickiness of the Aolong v2, but I do enjoy it's performance. The core also has a longer lifespan than that of stock cores, which let's you use the cube for a while more.

Simply take out your old blue moyu core and put in the cube4you one, which could be bought pretty cheaply at any cube store. This also has the added bonus of making the inside of your cube look cooler as well.

Hope you enjoy,

Absence.

This might work on any cube, not just the aolong v2.

I guess it will work with any moyu cube using the standard blue core. At least there are more options for puzzles to swap cores with.

Ha-ha, I did this with yuxin core while ago. Yuxin is so perfect, but this is a thing that I can't say about my aolong v2. Its corners shakes. Cobe locks, it is very unstable.

So if you don't like your aolong V2 like me, saith cores with yuxin. Yuxin is great kinda same reason as in your mod.

If you take apart an aolong, the core doesn't even touch the center pieces, how would swapping the core help?

Have no idea, but I swaped cores and there is big difference

I had people from the cubicle feel an aolong with this mod today (Andy, Collin, Phil, etc.). They all said it was pretty good.

Does it work with an Aolong Mini 54.5mm?

If the core size is the same as a normal aolong, then yes.

It seems to be about the straightness and stability of the screws.
