Is there tension screws in the standard ES 4x4x4?

[*LukeMayn*]

Are there? if so how do I get to them?

Take of the 4 center pieces, youll need like a screwdriver or knife or whatever flat thing you got to take out the first one, the others come off easily.

Yes, there are, but leave them alone. I loosened them one night and i regretted it for a few DAYS after that. I adjusted the tension only SLIGHTLY and i tried some cubing with it like that. It exploded in my hand, leaving me struggling to put it back together for days

Each assembly is an opportunity for a full lube, and an assembly record.
Anyhow, I loosened mine just slightly for 4OH. Little adjustments, I agree, make a lot of difference in movement.

If I'm not mistaken, the newer ES 4x4s have tension screws. My ES is from over a year ago, so the screws don't have springs under them.

Lucas, do you recommend lubing an ES 4x4? I've heard horror stories about lubing ES cubes, but then again, that WAS from Kyle Allaire...

My cube locks up so much though (it's a year old) that I don't think it would be too smart to lube it.

How can you use Eastsheen for OH? It's such a pain for me. I think it's too loose to begin with. Never locks up 2H, just way too loose and movement is uncontrollable OH.

Really? My Rubik's 4x4 is worse..It's like 0.4 tps...
