middle layer lock up. the same ting you would have on a V-cube 6x6 on a maru 4x4. best thing is to do is take it apart and put it back together.

Okay thanks.

Finally ran out of my syringe of lubix today.

Is lubix still the best or has something better came out in the past year or so?

Lubix is waaay too overpriced. Just get Traxxas 50k or something similar, it costs SO much less, for a way bigger quantity.

Traxxas 50k + 30k, mix half and half and it's very close to lubix (around 39K). Keep the lubix syringe though, you will need it for mixing the diff oils.

Is it really the same? I thought lubix was brand new or something.

I do find it funny that on amazon it had traxxas and cubes as items frequently purchased together and all the comments were cubing related. Maybe traxxas should release a cubing lube lol

Does anyone know US based stores that carry it? like walmart or autozone.

I cant say that it is the exact same viscosity, since Lubix has not revealed that yet. However what I do know for sure, is that it's silicone differential oil. I own Lubix and 50/30k traxxas differential oil, and I can say that Lubix feels like something between 30k and 50k. Heavier than 30k but lighter than 50k.

Traxxas is for R/C cars, works for cubing all the same though.

Is the CubeTwist clock any good?

because apparently your age is personal information so they deleted all age related stats

I was one of the oldest 3x3 blindfold solvers. I am going on 59 years old, but I have less reason to attend now that they removed the category for "oldest blindfold solvers".

Since stickerless cubes aren't allowed due to being able to see the color while you're turning it, would stickerless cubes be allowed for blind solving?

Stickerless cubes are now no longer acceptable, even for blind solving.

In competition, what should you do if you sit down for a solve and the judge lifts the cover almost right away before you feel you are ready?

Does it really make a difference? you're turning so fast that you shouldn't even be able to notice

Are there any good online speedcube/puzzle shops in Australia?

There is one with like 4 products.. but I don't think there are any others. I order from fasttech, wallbuys and lightake. (The products come to me in Sydney in less than 2 weeks compared to US stores )

Yes they are. In fact, the WR was broken with one several times.

No they are not. They used to be, but aren't anymore

Supposedly using differential oil is really good. I'm getting some Traxxas dif oil soon, and people say it works really great, so if you want I can tell you how it is once I get it.

Here's a link to the description. (Sorry if you can't view it, I'm on my phone so idk if the link will work for a computer)
