I have found a very easy way to pinlessly Pi-mod your V cube 6. It will still lock up, about as much as a Pi modded one. So I'll pst pictures when My camera is charged.

First off you will need to work in your V cube 6 as good as you can. I lubed the crap out of mine, and worked it in, making it cut corners better, turn better, and loosen the core. This may take a week or two, to get it to a good tension you like. Get the outer layer two a place you like because they wont be modded, they will be slightly bumpy, but it will be great.
(This keeps the outer layers smoother, and to turn better because in this version of the mod, you will not being modding the BIG inner edges.)


Then you will do the first MM&P mod, which is gluing two little white inner edge pieces to one of the cores arms to make th "L" shape.
(This mod reduces the lock-ups by 66% according to PI.)



Next you will do MM&P's corner mod when you make the corners rounder, rather than the triangular shape there in. I also did the v cube 5 mod when you make the actuall part of the corner that goes into the core rounder as well.
(This will keep the center edges from popping out when the corner runs past and against the, because the when its triangular it will push the center edges out as it passes by.)


You will now cut off the bump on the white inner edge pieces this is when you would usually glue in the pins but theres no need. So instead of having pins to keep the center in alignment, the cube will use the actuall Large edges to keep it in alignment. Pi usually has you sand off the bumps on these, but they will actually hold it in alignment. The outer layers may be a little clicks still, but they will turn better, smoother, and will less force.
(This completely rmoves the inner clicks with the V cube 6.)


Last you will lube your V cube 6 before assembly, and then reassemble, then break it in in any ways you can, or whatever technique you use. Occasionally your V cube 6 will still lock up, but it still will even after the entire Pi-mod.


Thanks for reading, Nick.

Whatever worse than the fact he missed an 'l' is the fact that someone wasted a whole post saying only that. I wish people would stop that. Spelling is nice, but missing one character isn't that bad.

My 6x6 has 2 glued centres, small and big pieces sanded. No pins. It works pretty well. I might try this on my spare one.

Have you by any chance tried this on the 4x4? without pins? (the yj 4x4 of course, if you have one)
