Angstrom dignitas and weight 5 on tracks, a small drop of weight 5 on one piece, 2 drops mystic on pieces, and after about a hundred solves a drop of DNM 37. Last time I skipped the DNM and didn't miss it at all. I main a Pioneer, btw. Been thinking about getting a flagship as well when I get a yuxin teraminx

How do all of you setup your V3? I don't use mine much because it's so fast and uncontrollable.

Pi Cube Premium setup

If they did this to the zilong mini 4x4 I would 110% buy it

I was thinking about the exact same thing

I was thinking about the exact same thing

Maybe I should make one first
Not ball core but magnetic core

 

[adventurous_penguin]

Zhilong mini might be hard to fit the core magnets in without a complete replacement core like these PiCube kits. But it would be great. I made a corner core magnetized meilong 4 that barely has clearance in the core, but feels great after I fiddled with it enough that it fit.

I might have an idea of how to do it, but I need to buy the cube first. I will buy it with my massive cube order after I make enough money for it.
The order is gonna have the magnetic 8x8 and 9x9, so I will give a review after I get it (it will be a while tho)

QiYi has updated the Tornado v3’s core with stronger ballcore in their latest batches while still selling it at the same price.
I tried both old core and new core Tornado V3, and the one with new core is a lot better.
I guess this can be one of the reasons for Max Park to switch back from the YS3M.

thanks, good to know! my Tomato v3 (Flagship) is I *think* a newer one, but TheCubicke sent me an extra (older 1st type) Tv3 ball-core (just in case...)
by itself it kinda looks like some kind of alien technilogy lol

Pi Cube just told me that some big cubes (4x4 & 5x5) with Pi Cube Ballcore are coming out next week, including:
- YJ MGC 4X4
- YJ MGC 5X5
- MoYu AoSu WR M 4x4
- MoYu AoChuang WR M 5x5
- Valk 5 M

And I'm most interested in the Pi Cube Ballcore MoYu AoChuang WR M 5x5 as its my current main and it really needs Ballcore to help with its stability.

- Valk 5 M

How's Pi Cube going to make the corner core magnet Valk 5? It's been out of production for awhile.

Oh really? it’s still in stock here

?? It’s in stock at the cubicle. It isn’t out of production.

Maybe your thinking of the Valk 2.

Huh I thought all the Valk cubes where discontinued.

MoYu & Pi Cube WeiLong WRM V9

 

[Deleted member 12389]

Love the internal color!
I was hoping Picube would sell the white cap but regrettably it is solely for this limited edition
I have no idea why they call it a "limited edition" when they have so many available

I think they're all discontinued but everything except for valk2s are still in stock (well maybe original valk3s are getting hard to find)

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

Was hoping it was gonna have black internals, but still cool

YJ MG C EVO V2 Core Magnetic

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

Is DianSheng working on a new ballcore megaminx?

 

[Deleted member 74176]

No clue, it was from the twisty puzzles forum

I actually figure it out, it's from MoYu's facebook

These figures are just for reference, never thought that anyone would take it seriously
It kinda shows that 3 people have ordered it from that English site, but actually like 1000 out of 1500 of the Pi Cube V9 are reserved for their Chinese site, and remaining 500 are reserved for several other different platforms.

Edit: as for now like nearly 500 Pi Cube V9 has been sold through their Chinese site already as I understand, and its just a day after its on preorder here

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

Actually there’s a story behind the release date of the Pi Cube V9:
They originally planned to release it in early July, but they ended up releasing it on 28/6 for cultural reasons as its their CEO Jack Pan’s birthday (2012PANJ02). When he let me try his Pi Cube V9 prototype at a local comp back in May (where it was his main already at that time), he just told me that it’s gonna be released in early July, and may possibly delay to mid-July due to logistics reasons (transports in mainland China are still not yet completely recovered due to pandemic restrictions).
