Product Description
VIN Cube 3x3 Nova (Racer)
The VIN Cube 3x3 Nova Racer is a premium magnetic speed cube built for cubers who want fast, controlled turning with serious tuning depth. Standard magnets guide pieces into place with clean accuracy, Ball-Core technology adds core stability and omnidirectional positioning, and the CFRS adjustment system gives you a wide range of setup options to match your exact solving style. At 55.5mm and 72g with a UV-coated exterior and 64-magnet layout, the Racer sits in the sweet spot between the accessible Lite and the fully-loaded Nova — delivering competition-capable performance without the full MagLev premium.

Why you'll like it
- Fast but controlled feel: Magnetic turning and Ball-Core stability work together to keep the cube quick without feeling loose or unpredictable.
- Cleaner turn completion: 35-degree auto-alignment helps pieces finish turns more reliably, reducing misalignment mid-solve.
- Wide setup range: The CFRS system gives you genuine flexibility — from crisp and light to tighter and more stable — so the cube can adapt to your preference rather than the other way around.
- Secure, grippy exterior: UV coating adds anti-slip grip while resisting scratches and lube buildup over time.
- Lightweight and agile: The 72g build and 55.5mm size keep the cube easy to control at speed without sacrificing feel.
Tuning & control
- CFRS adjustment system: Centrifugal force regulation lets you switch between crisp, snappy, and stable turning styles to match your solving preference.
- 128 setting combinations: Plenty of room to fine-tune the cube exactly to your liking.
- Directional tuning response: Arrows inward create a lighter, crisper feel; arrows outward create a tighter, more stable feel.
- Responsive turning character: Designed for a light start, smooth turning, and clear tactile feedback throughout the solve.
Performance & design highlights
- 64 magnets total: 16 core magnets plus 48 edge and corner magnets create a more supported, guided turning feel across the whole cube.
- Ball-Core technology: Adds core stability and omnidirectional positioning for a more controlled feel at higher turning speeds.
- 35-degree auto-alignment: Helps the cube self-correct and finish turns cleanly, even under pressure.
- Honeycomb anti-stick design: Concave piece geometry improves lube retention and reduces sticky drag over time.
- Symmetrical snap-fit assembly: Supports a clean, secure structure that holds up to regular use.
- Transparent center piece: A distinct visual detail that adds character to the overall build.
- UV-coated exterior: Resists lube buildup while adding grip and scratch resistance for long-term durability.

Returns Policy
Returns
If the item is faulty:
If you find a fault with the product within 30 days that significantly restricts your ability to use it you may request to return it for fixing or a replacement if fixing is not possible. Once you have provided reasonable evidence that the product is faulty and cannot easily be fixed then you can return it to 90 Culley Court, Peterborough, PE2 6WA
I will then attempt to fix it myself, usually I will be able to easily fix it and can then send it back to you quickly, if I am unable to fix it then I can offer a replacement of the product or a refund or similar product if the item is no longer in stock.
Please note that if a cube pops, this is not a reasonable justification for a return, all good cubes have the potential to pop occasionally, if it happens frequently you should consider tightening the tensions or turning more smoothly. Learning to fix popped cubes is an important part of your growth and development as a cuber, it is a very useful skill to develop, I have some tutorials on fixing pops on my youtube channel and there are obviously many more online.
