Help with Yuexiao tensions

[Malkom]

I played around with the tensions on my Yuexiao and no matter what I do it just feels horrible. It locks up and the cornercutting sucks. I've tried loosening it but then it explodes, if i tigthen it it can barely turn. Before i could without problem get 19-21 but now it impossible to even get sub 25

Lube the core and put it so it is stable but loose

What Lube would you recommend? I currently only have some silicone spray which mkes the Ålund super fast. Where can you buy Lube? I live in europe and dont really want to pay 20$ just to ship a bottle of Lube.

I twiddled with the tensions slightly and found that if you tighten/loosen it till the screw threads are screwed into the core it feels and performs really good

That's what I've found to be the best tensions for me too. When I take a center cap off, the screw head is pretty much on the same level as the ring around the screw. Even slightly changing the tensions makes me lock up a lot so I would disassemble the cube and make sure all the sides are equally tensioned. That's pretty tight tensions compared to my other cubes, but for me thats the best tensions on this cube. The cube is really stable which feels weird after using other cubes, but it performs well with tight tensions.

For lube, I've used traxxas 50k and little bit of weight 3.

I just realized i cleaned out the core wich made all the factory lube go away, think i will buy some traxxas 50K and lube it
