Hey guys I added a video. Sorry I had to record it with my blender. And sorry for my fail solve, I slow.

My friend has designed a new modification for the Dayan Lingyun. Many cubers, such as myself, have many problems with popping on the Lingyun. Finding the perfect tension to reduce pops without sacrificing speed is near impossible. The Santos cube fixes all of the problems.

The exact modifications are secret but they include core modifications, piece modifications and Lubix. I have tried out 3 different ultimate lubix guhongs(Unfortunately, no elites) but here is my comparison.
Speed: Santos cube slightly wins
Pops: Both are flawless
Corner cutting: Lubix Guhong slightly wins
Controlability: Santos cube wins

I have only tried out the first couple of Santos cubes, I will write a bigger review when I get mine. The Santos cube is sold tensioned, lubed and ready for use. They will soon be for sale on ebay, I am making this post to see if any of you are interested. Thanks for reading!

This title is quite misleading, and I feel like this thread is pointless since the cube isn't on ebay yet. I have a feeling once it gets put on ebay that a new thread will be made. Whatever. Can we at least see pictures of the changes and a video for the performance?
 
Sorry it hasn't been released yet, my friend wanted to make sure some people were interested before he sold them. I will upload a video as soon as possible.
Your lingyun might be perfect, but the Santos cube is perfect-er.
 
The price would be $17 without the core modification and $20 with the core modification (Or somewhere around that)
Ahhh... sorry, my calculator is my only video recording device. :P Just kidding.
 
The way I see it Elite is to Guhong as Santos is to Lingyun, I would crap my pants if it gets such a hype reaching insane biding as the elite.

I made my own elite yesterday. Just saw pictures of internals and saw what was different. It's now my main
 
How to make your Guhong and Linyung amazing.

Step 1) Take both your Guhong and Linyung fully apart including the core.

Step 2) Put the cores back together again while lubing the screws, springs and washers with shock oil not lubix.

Step 3) Assemble your Linyung core and Guhong pieces together.

Step 4) Assemble your Guhong core and Linyung pieces together.

Step 5) Take out an edge on both new cubes and put a small amount of shock oil on the areas its needed.

Congratulations

You have two new and amazing cubes called the Guyung and the Lihong. These are amazing cubes that are super fast, dont pop, and can corner cut very well. If you get tired of one of the cubes you will always have the other one that feels completely different but is still equally as good as the other.

This might be what he did to the cube.

P.S. If you want save money buy shock oil 20000-50000 wt. Lubix lubes 10 cubes for $10. Shock oil lubes 200+ for $4. I dont know about you but I would stick with shock oil.
 
Great job not telling use how the hell the pieces are modded. If the guy doesnt have his own account on speedsolving or youtube then he is not "trustable". I bet I know what you did to the cube. 48 point mod, rounding the corner anchors and stalks, lubing it with lubix(fail), and sanding down some of the core so the anchors on the edges dont scrape against the core.

What's wrong with Lubix?

Lubix...........................................................Shock oil
10$ for something that lubes 16 cubes vs. 3$ for something that lubes 100+ cubes

They are the exact same thing. Lubix just has the lubix brand name on it. The only thing about lubix that is better then shock oil is the really nice applicator.

Lubix is expensive, but I thought your post meant that Lubix was crap.
 
He does use shock oil, If you think he isn't trustable then buy it with paypal and you can just file a dispute if you have problems (You won't)
Those aren't the mods, not even close.
