I average about 23 on 3x3x3. I got a 1:10 single on 4x4x4 this week, with an average 3/5 of 1:25, and I only do 5 solves of 4x4x4 per week - I practically never practice 4x4x4. It might be a challenge to get sub-minute, but I would certainly think you should be able to get close, anyway.

What mods does this ''MuGua'' do on the V-Cube 6 that 51morefun is selling? I know he sands down the large inner pieces and also the smaller ones, but aside from that I have nooo idea.

Also, what tension fits best the Zhan Chi? How many millimetres do you left between the core and central pieces when pushed appart? 0.8mm, 1mm, 1.2mm?

Zhan chi*

I think you should test out the tensions yourself because it's your cube

Most of them work, but not perfectly. I'd like to know what tensions others use.

 

[Shamankian]

I prefer my ZhanChi very tight, I do not know what millimeters, but so tight that I got some serious problems with taking out an edge (and I feel like I'm breaking it when I try ), I also got one that's a lot looser, however I feel like it's locking up a bit more.

[Sillas]

Does anyone know where is a good video on F2L's? I've seen the badmephisto and Feliks, and I think I have to change some formulas that have many rotations.

witeden and lightake dont generally have fast shipping for e it takes about 2 to 3 weeks after i order to recieve it but if your comp is less than a month away i suggest buying off a site like puzzle addiction or speedcubeshop

How can i get faster?
That was a speedsolve for me and it was 27 seconds.
My TPS is about 5 or so.

Thanks,

Should I get a Godly Guhong from http://puzzleaddictions.com with these mods http://puzzleaddictions.com/index/mods.html ? Or a Lubix Fusion from Lubix?

i recomend the godly guhong, because you get more bang for your buck

If I counted correctly, that was 60 moves, so at 5 TPS you would be at 12 seconds with that solve. At 60 moves and 27 seconds, you were at about 2 TPS. Your movecount is average for cfop, but the cross took nine moves. So I would suggest working on optimizing your cross. I know Prisma Puzzle Timer has a feature that shows you all the optimal crosses for that scramble, so you could use that. Also at 2 TPS, you could work getting that up. But try to turn as fast as you can WITHOUT compromising look-ahead.

Good luck,
Aaron.

According to that solve, your TPS is just over 2. Just keep practicing and look for more efficient ways of completing the cross and certain f2l cases.

Work on your cross. Your F2L was really inefficient, and there were a lot of pointless moves. Here's my solution:

single website that has pretty cheap WT 2x2, pyraminx, and zhanchi all for about 25 bucks?

Where can I get a ShengShou 4x4 V3 cheap? :O

iCubeMart - $10.80
CubeDepot - $10.00
Lightake - $7.99

Probably wouldn't be able to get all of those for $25. Cheapest place would be CubeDepot (if you want a store in the USA), shipping is only like $4. If you can wait for a while you can try Lightake, shipping is free but takes around 3 weeks.

QJ Pyraminx - $7.99
Zhanchi - $14
Witeden 2x2 - $10.50

With shipping you are looking at around $38.

I did the mod to my guhong centers like Donovan did in his video and there still falling out. Did i do something wrong?

Probably not. Some just don't like to stay in (like mine). To help remedy the problem, cut small pieces of paper that will fit inside the center cap, put them in, and then put the cap on. It should help them stay on.
