Out of the box, this cube was pretty slow, too slow for me. I set this up the way I normally do for 4x4s, and it didn't get any faster. I assume that putting a bunch of Traxxas 50k in this and breaking it in like Chris Olson does with his cubes would work, but a LOT of solves would be needed, as this cube is already slow out of the box. In my experience, cleaning out the cube completely and putting a little light lube on the rings and Maru on the pieces works best. Doing this, the cube still needed to be on pretty loose tensions to be at a decent speed. The downside to this, however, is that the cube will pop if you're too rough with it. That being said, the only alternative is to have the cube at tighter tensions with slow turning, which is much worse in my opinion.
