/B RS Pyraminx Upgrade Kit

This kit could be incredible but……. It’s not.

Tips:
Steven’s said they use those washers because regular Weilong-style washer mods make the tips to fast, I found that, for the first time ever, I don’t agree with Steven about pyraminx hardware and the tips are too slow no matter what, but I had some washers lying around so I was fine.

Magnet strength:
the actual cube NEEDS extra edge magnets, used 2x 1x4mm n40 (roughly same size as the magnets from the kit) and it made the cube ALOT more usable, and made lubes feel like they could keep up with the cube, it also made the cube feel more substantial.

Ballcore+edge-core magnets:
Very good, no complaints, very round! Clear that they have improved the general printing/design quality from the lbl Weilong kit which is nice because the Weilong has already good quality

‘‘washers’’:
Yeah, no these were a good idea in theory, but we’re just pretty useless, put they did prove how cheap and easy 3d printed Weilong-style washers would be

Tip staying on thing:
This makes the tips [TITLE CARD] compared to how they were before the mod (if you didn’t get the reference go watch invincible) it’s perfect.

Maglev vs standard RS:
The standard is better than the maglev but the cubicle made the choice to recommend the maglev, due to the fact the maglev is just to fast and corner cutting is worse and that the pyraminxers that were given a spring /b haven’t switched to a maglev, and that the maglev is now on sale, it just looks like a shameful way to clear inventory (btw I like the cubicle and enjoy there videos so I’m not trying to flame them) and people have done the mods I’ve done to my maglev on spring and gotten incredible results that are better than an old batch ylm.

Tensioning:
Tensions are hard on this puzzle so you need callipers, on future iterations a replacement adjustment system as aided to the screw would make things better

Conclusion:
This kit is good, but you need to make the cube tight for the cube to feel not flimsy, and with more mods the kit becomes something really special, that being said I’ve gotten a 1.71 ao12 and a 1.40 ao5 on it and many other 1.5 averages but, at the moment I think a Weilong is still better unless you do more mods.

I was really excited to get this kit, because a lot of YLM users liked it, and it did not disappoint. This is the lightest turning pyraminx I've ever used. The tips are on the slower side compared to the YLM and modded Weilong, but I honestly prefer these. Auto alignment is excellent, so the corner cutting is good even though I have this on tighter tensions than my other pyraminxes, and I lock up a lot less on this compared to my other puzzles. I set it up with a bit of weight 5 and it's just the right speed for me, a little faster than my YLM and weilong.

I would only recommend this for people who are at least sub-5, because otherwise there's not much reason to get this instead of a YLM or Weilong (unless you already have a maglev RS). I would recommend this especially to people who like the YLM (especially an Ezra modded YLM). It's a very light feeling puzzle, so if you prefer something heavier, maybe this isn't for you.

The mod was straightforward to install. I haven't installed the mod to prevent tips from falling off because I haven't had that problem yet, but I've heard that they start to fall off more over time, so I'll probably put them in eventually.

I haven't had this pyra for very long, but I've already gotten a lot of low 2 averages with it. Definitely the best puzzle for a light turning style, and I would highly recommend it!
