Yo same
I agree with your traxxas 50k reasonings! The only reason mine ran out was that a crack in the bottom was created and it leaked everywhere lol.
Yup exactly 😂😂
Same problem here... Made a mess
same happened but for my weigh 5, lost 25 millimeters, and it leaked onto my megaminx. It took a week to break it in lol.
I'm in with Chris on Weight 5, I absolutely love it too. It makes my cube so much smoother, and even faster once I break it in
Thanks Chris! As a beginner speedcuber, I’m starting to get into lube.
That was a really informative video! Keep up the awesome work :)
You honestly look great in the face cam. The blend of bright neutral colors in the back looks great
Thanks for the suggestion!! Now I can prefer my favourite lube accordingly
Thank you for this! This helped me a lot!!
Amazing video Chris!
Make a video setting up the cube, that would be super helpful.
yeah please
I like to use 30K on the core and a mixture of 30K, DNM-37, and Speedy on the pieces. This lubing method makes your cube quite fast after a bit of break-in and is very smooth.
Pro Shop is one of my favorite setups.
The only lube I’ve ever tried is 50 k and I love it. It is all you need. Start with one drop and from there you can keep adding small amounts to get your cube where you like it
Thanks for giving a list of good lubes!
I loved this video! It was VERY well set up and just amazing! I have some Gan Magic Lube and Qiyi Lube as well. The Gan Magic is sooooo good to set up an SM with. All I had to do to make my SM amazing was: 1. Unbox 2. Lube with Gan Magic Lube 3. Done.
I’m getting my first cube soon and this is going to help a lot
great video, this helped me chose which lube to buy
This video is very informative and helpful, thanks!
Could you do an updated version of this? 2019
Handon Lager yeah and include SCS lubes for reference
@@nglawrence5057 late reply but he's sponsored by the cubicle
This helped a lot, thank you
The thumbnail looks very gorg af

When you were talking about Lubicle Speed, it reminded me of what Damian Bias said to me at Worlds 2017. He told me that people would laugh when he would say "I slow my cubes down with Speedy"
My favorite is compound x cause I really like how it makes cubes more controllable
I like silk, weight 5, and lubicle 1. I put them in my valk 3 and now it’s amazing!
I'm kinda a newbie and i wanted to buy a new lube so this helped a lot
SCS weight 5 makes my cubes feel kinda crispy after break in for some reason and I LOVE that!
MA Cuber hmm I like scs weight 6. I like the little bit more control.
This question is recurrent so thank's for your help chris 🤝
My favorite lube dnm and silk because i have a pretty old cube and when i put 1 drop of dnm it wss amazing. I like silk because it gives a really smooth feeling it just make me feel really good when i turn a cube that is lubed with silk
The thumbnail always makes me think that it's a cinematic video. Another great thumbnail.
The premium lube sampler from the cubicle is a great start! for 10 bucks you get silk, lubicle 1 and dnm, and i think you get about 60 drops of each which is plenty to start with.
Thank you for the long but useful explanation
Recently I bought a WuQue and DNM-37, but now I'm curious how Weight-5 would work in this cube so definitely it will be the next one
Thanks Chris, I loved this video.
Thanks Chris
For this video 😊😊
I use weight 3 on the core, weight 3 on the tracks and a mixture of weight 1 and 2 in the pieces. the end result is a bit of a soft but fast feeling. Downside is that the cube can get uncontrollable. You must try this way. It is really good
I personally use Weight 5 with DNM and Maru on basically all my puzzles, has worked well for a while now.
My local RC shop didn't have Traxxas so I use TLR differential lube, 50000 and 15000. The lighter one is great for a cube you don't use much so you don't want to spend ages breaking it in. For a quick lube job I just put a couple of drops of 50000 between the pieces, if I want to do it properly I use a bunch of 50000 on the core and tracks plus some 15000 between the pieces - this particular approach has made my NP Zhanchi feel almost like OP which delights me :)
i like lubicle one because you can apply it differently for different feelings
putting a bunch on a track will make the cube really smooth and medium speed
just dropping it inside will adjust the cubes speed to make it medium from any speed
i do also like silk, 10k and dnm
My lube setup on my Warrior W is Lubicle Black on the core, Weight 5 and Nebula on the tracks, and Weight 3, Silk, and DNM on surface area.
Silicon lube is the best. Although I prefer the SCS silicon because there’s a bit more variety but you can go wrong with Cubicle silicon
Nice lighting and nicely filmed please make some tutos on ur second channel about cinematography
So obviously as a SCS sponsored cuber I'm biased, but their Cosmic Lube line is really good, especially Martian and Galaxy! They are so nice, and they last quite a long time! But not being brand specific I really like weight 1-3 best. Good video Chris!
I'm neutral between the two, and the scs cosmic lubes are awesome.
SCS weight 1-3 or Cubicle weight 1-3?
cubicle, since I haven't tried scs
I'm talking about SCS Weighted lubes, but they are probably the same.
JCB ShortFilms late to the party but scs weight 1 is actually around cubicle weight 5 viscosity for some reason
I just wanted to say THANKS. I started ROUXbing 14 months ago at the age of 50 and a lot of this stuff is new to me. My cubes were dry as hell! I sought advice from the young cubing masters of YT and found you...again. I studied this video and tried to understand the concept...watched a few other videos...found a local hobby shop that had some lubes matching your descriptions. I played it smart by disassembling, cleaning, mostly reassembling and VERY lightly lubing (a drop) on a few very specific internal areas. Broke the cube in...wiping off any excess...the first cube was the worst since it was...my trial and error cube. Once again...THANKS. I now have two really nice cubes and my times are dropping.
3 New PB singles standing at 31.19 - almost sub-30; that's my next goal.
All of my averages are dropping, too. I can't give all of the credit to the lube but it does help, big time!
Robert D In Tulsa how's your times doing now?
My PB Single is 26.76
My Ao5 is 36.34
My Ao12 is 38.76
My Ao50 is 40.77, dropping, just not at slow as Ao100
My Ao100 is 42.76, still dropping
cubepb.com/user/232689
Any yours?
Robert D In Tulsa nice! Wish I learned roux as my first method. Seems easier than CFOP to improve. My pb is 17 and ao5 and ao12 is around 28 seconds
From what I have been able to learn, there aren't anywhere as many algorithms to learn with ROUX if you want to really drop your times.
I don't expect to ever compete with the young guys/kids but the simple thought of continuously improving my times and maybe competing (once) keeps me going. I met one of my goals..Sub-30. Time to set some new ones.
I've used weight 3, weight 5, Maru Lube and Silk to lube my cubes. Usually I use weight 5 on cores or if I want to slow cubes down, I use a mix of weight 3, maru lube, and silk on the pieces. Usually I put weight 3 on the corner base/bottom of the pieces, maru lube where there is the most contact, break it in for a bit, then after a few solves add a drop or 2 of silk. Sometimes I skip out on one of the 3 lubes for pieces if I like how it feels after putting each lube, but usually I use a mix of them.
I only use 2 lubes, DNM and silk, but that's enough for me. If a cube is feeling dry or slow, I put 1-2 drops of silk, and then if I want it to be faster, I add 1-2 drops of DNM and this creates a nice, smooth and semi-fast cube which I really like.
use weight 5 to remove spring noise
Great video! Quality! 👌
Here's my opinion:
I've used four lubes: Traxxas 30k, DNM-37, Lubicle Silk, and Martian.
Traxxas is very good for the core, but I normally use it for the pieces. If used correctly, it can give a very smooth feel and potentially make your cube even faster, but if you put too much of it in your cube, it gums it up and makes it really sluggish, so don't be too generous with it.
DNM is awesome; I ran out in a matter of months due to me using it so often. Just 1 drop makes your cube a lot faster, which I personally enjoy, and DNM lasts a while, too. In my experiences DNM has typically lasted me around two weeks.
Silk is pretty similar to DNM as it also speeds up your cube. It also makes it feel a lot smoother, and I'd normally use it if my cube feels a bit dry.
Martian is apparently one of SCS's fastest lubes, but it honestly doesn't do too much. It's slower than both DNM and Silk, but Martian still does make your cube a bit faster. You need to put in about 3-4 drops of Martian in order for it to compare to just 1 drop of DNM-37. If you don't really like super fast cubes but still don't want anything super sluggish, Martian works for that.
DNM-37 is water-based while Martian is silicone based and I think is less than weight 0.1 so that it lasts long as silicone-based lubes lasts longer than water-based lubes. Martian use to be the fastest out of the Cosmic Lubes line but then just made an even faster one recently which is called Lunar.
MyWiFiSUX Yea, that's probably the reason why Martian isn't as fast as DNM.
omg thank you this is exactly what i was looking for, i have an mf3rs and from what i have heard 30k matchs what i want perfectly but i don't know if i should put it in the core or in the pieces.
Godly MangoMC You're welcome!
let me make sure i got it right, traxxas 30k in the core is good but it is better in the pieces?
I don't have a favorite lube, but I use DNM, Speedy, and Lubicle 1. I put 3 drops of Lubicle 1 on a corner stalk with 1 drop of DNM. On the opposite corner diagonally of it I do 2 drops of Speedy, giving my cube a great feel.
When I get a new cube, I immediately wipe the pieces and drop in two drops of Lubicle-1. It fills in the cracks of your puzzle and makes the break in process before you lube it all out much easier. Break in with 50-100 solves so the Teflon can fill in the cracks. Then I do Lubicle Black on the core and a touch of Weight 5 on the pieces. Break that in, and add Silk or DNM-37.
The only 2 lubes I use are calvin high viscosity/Lubicle wt 5/any thick silicone (can't differentiate them) in most of my cubes, and silk which I use ocassionally and quite rarely. Works fine on 6x6 and 7x7, just need to break it in. My 6x6-8x8 are all set up with thick lube and they work totally fine.
I don't have lube, but if I got some, I would probably get silk or dnm, because with dnm, you can have a fast cube, which I love, and with silk, it makes the cube feel softer, which I like very much. I'll probably put both in my cube.
really nice thanks! :)
You have now got another subscriber
I only use 50k and have a tendency of putting a lot in the cube it makes the cube feel softer and more controllable
I lubed my cube with water...
-based lubricants
lel
Oh hey Ender gaming we meet again 😂
I replied to your comment about the MGC elite if you remember😂
Do you have Martian lube? Because that’s all I have and I really want to know how these cubicle lubes perform in comparison with that
I’m trying to find a lube that is controllable to slow down my little magic but all the lubes in SCS are sold out 🤷♂️
Would be great to know a little about premium lubes too if anyone of you have them
S1S Pro probably very long
I legit did this and my MF3RS2 is all rusted out. Thank god the RS3M 2020 came out literally a week later.
@@bijandey5634 your a lucky guy
I have trown away a thunderclap and quarter of a bottle of lube! Just because you said overlubing the thunderclap is good!
I have had my cube for about a week. When I first started using it it felt great. Now it feels like it's been lubed with rubber cement. Any ideas on a lube that will get it back to rotating smoothly again?
I used to usually dump a lot of light lube (Around the hundreds range in viscosity) from a local RC car store, and break it in, but not I just use whatever I'm sponsored with
I use weight-5, Lubicle Standard, Traxxas 50k, Maru lube and DNM-37.
this video helped a lot. I would like to know how to get traxxas 50k in smaller amounts.
Traxxas sounds great, im gonna get it as my first real core lube!
how did it turn out? did you like it?
@@Teneab it's great! Make sure to use a small amount and break in first, before adding any larger amount. Cube stays perfectly smooth for months!
@@nottsoserious too late... i already ordered weight 5.
Okay, first off, AMAZING video. Super informative, and I loved it.
Secondly, I don't have much money, and my parents aren't super supportive of my hobby, So if I buy something, it'll have to last a while. Also the cubes I have are The Valk 3, and the Yuxin little magic, and I was wondering what lubes you would recommend for those cube.
So in conclusion, what do you think I should get? What I thought was maybe Traxxas 50k, and speedy, what do you think?
50k and speedy would be good starts!
Okay, thanks!
What are the differences between Lubicle Speedy and Traxxas 10k/Cubicle Weight One?
I use a little traxxes 50k on tracks and springs.. break that in then add a drop or 2 of martian lube or silk. Break in. Then add one small drop of dnm 37..
Personally I use weight 5, angstrom gravitas, dnm, mystic, and silk
Weight 5 for the core, gravitas on the tracks, and the others for adjusting the speed (i really like mysitc)
Which part of the cube are the tracks? The white part of the Gan Air SM for example, is that it?
Any recommendations for the Huanglong M?
Nice video!
Weight-1 because it last long and no need to use any other piece lube.and for core weight-5
Woah nice setup m8
Can I use weight 5 on the core then a combination of speedy and weight 5 on the pieces?
If i wanna buy a lube which can be directly applied to pieces....should i buy traxxas 30k???
Very helpful
How often should I lube my cube?
I LOOOOOOVE THE ANGSTROM LUBES PLUS DNM
The dignitas container spills and leaks, if it were in a better container it would be my favorite
can i lube bigger cube without taking apart. planning to lube my 7x7. iam using maru lube. so does it work if i drop 2 drops on each side in between corners ? is there any drawback lubing like this ?
So I'm considering buying another bottle of lube since the only ones I have rn are weights 1-5 and speedy,standard,gummy. I'm running low on all of them and am out on some. I'm debating mainly between DNM, Silk, or just like a big bottle of Traxxas. Or maybe all of them or multiple, or something else. Suggestions? (i would get LubBlack but it's such a pain to apply and clean)
If I apply silicone lube to my unstable cube, will it slow down and become stable? If it won't, please suggest a cube lube, below $5 which will make my cube stable .
i have traxxas 30k and jack o lantern, what lube should i get next??? i am thinking dnm or silk but i am really not sure.
I watched this video after I ordered my first lubes and I lithely bought exactly those 5 lubes
Hey Chris I love your vids. How would you describe compound x. Also where would you put it on your list for order of getting. Thanks in advance 😀
I love putting weight 3 and couple drops of dnm 37 in my yuexiao pro💖
I buy Traxxas 10k 30k 50k 3pk for ~$20. I'm not a speedcuber and kinda more for the "meditation" aspect of it (think Wushu as speedcubing, while I would be Tai Chi). I only buy MOYU AOFU GTs and I just buy lube so I don't hit snags and to hopefully prevent lockups. I usually tighten the centers so there's not much cause for movement. Because of this, there's not much space for the cube to correct itself and it becomes stuck or even worse a center piece will break and the cube crumbles. Nobody so far has told me how to unlock the "dislocated" cubee without having to take it apart. I was thinking maybe to remove the center screw on the cubes face where the out of whack cubee is located. I was also wondering what happens physically to silicone oil as time and cube use goes on (when lube "drys" up).
Lubicle Silk cauz it gives a smooth and silky feeling (removes crunchiness)
I put weight 5 on the core and 2drops of DNM+1 drop if Silk on pièces (Gans SM)
Very helpful for someone who has no clue about lubes, thanks
I just got a traxxas 10k,30k,40k on Amazon when I started.
Can you go over the new premium lubes, please? :0
What is a good Lubricant to make your cube smooth and light?
I like lubicle black on the core, gravitas + silk on piece feets and gravitas + DNM or speedy on the plastics
On gan cubes I replace silk with gan magic lube
I recently got weight 5 lube and it's really sticky and doesn't seem normal. I've gotten weight 3 before but it wasn't extremely sticky and didn't make the cube seem glued together. Is weight 5 being really sticky a normal thing?
So, I was looking through the gan cube maintainince and it said to not mix lube, but my cube came lubed, so what do I do?
I want to get and use thr Valk Elite M as a main and from what I've heard it's dry out of the box. I'm also a beginner and I'm on the fence of Weight5, Weight3 and Speedium. Help would be really appreciated. Thank you!
on the core use a thick lube or lubicle black and add 2 drops of silk and dnm and 1-2 drops of a silicone or speedy
Now I saw the video but I still don't know which lube I have to use for my gan 2x2 to make him faster? Can you help me?
