Bought a DianSheng Galaxy 8x8 M!!
It will ship after Christmas is over!

I saw where DS have a C-C version of the Galaxy 9M out as well

Nope. If anything, I'll make my own.

Make your own 9x9?

No, magnetic core for the 8x8

 

[Bingus cuber]

Oh, ok

Now that it is officially the new year, I will start learning squan!!!

I bought a QiYi squan from @White KB and made it maglev
A maglev non magnetic squan is fun to mess with

It's the carbon fiber squan but he "modded" it (took all the black stickers off)

My 8x8 arrives Monday!

Haha YES!
First thing (after several solves, obvi) you should do is dis-assemble it and check if one of your core-corner kits will work for it

Or, I could do it right after I get it lol

for purely scientific reasons (of course)
you must play with the bew toy first.
! ! ! ! ! ! !
(that way you can tell what difference the C2C makes, which will also help build your knowledge base in regards to future desigbs, moddings and such

I have 2 4 6, you have 3 5 7

 

[White KB]

Yessir

I just realized that I have now beaten your 7x7 single by almost a full minute (4:16.067 vs. 5:10.770).

Meanwhile, you have a 2:51 on 6x6 while I have a 3:03, which is only a 12 second difference. Hmmm

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

The Valk 5 gets shipped tomorrow!

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

I have 2 4 6, you have 3 5 7

Now it's 4-2
Got the 5x5 PB

 

[artless1der]

and it wasn't even on the Valk *yet*

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

I'm gonna start grinding big cubes, specifically 4 5 6, by doing 4-6 relays on CsTimer.
Edit: Nope on the relays lol. Realized that's a garbage way to grind the events haha.
