[New!] mf8+Dayan 4x4 V2 & V3, Dayan Megaminx V2

So the outer layer according to you has not improved compared to the previous version dayan/mf8?

Worse than the 6.6, better than the 6.0. Hasn't popped yet.

Although this cube looks very sexy, I think I've given up on ball cores.... I just can't seem to get tensions right or something.
Who am I kidding, I'm totally buying this.

Mine has just arrived.

1st impression, disappointing.

It turned up unlubed so I fully disassembled it and rebuilt it while lubing.
I dialled in the tensions for about half an hour and just can't seem to find a good all rounder.

The inner layers are smooth, the outer layer is catchy and as a result so are the slices.
=(

I shall update if I get the cube tensioned just right but at the moment I'm not very hopeful.

I don't have this cube in my hands, but I was expecting that it will be locky, because of the pieces.
Maybe it will be getting better with solves, but I think that it will lock up quite often even after breaking in.

I'm kinda worried about the PanShi - because it also have different pieces that can cause lock ups.

We'll se.

On revision worse than the 6.0.
I just cannot find a tension where the outer layer is usable.

Let's hope the 6.7 or V are awesome.

Any ideas what exactly is causing the locking? Do you think it might be modded to make it better? Looks like the corners might have the same issue as those on the Dayan megaminx with the outer parts catching on the centres, is that the case? I really want this to be a good cube.

I have an idea about the locking. I think it's because in the 2x2 core, those pieces aren't rounded. As a result, when the outer layers want to cut, the 2x2 cannot cut with it. So, I guess to counter that one could do the Florian mod on the 2x2 pieces. I'm kinda worried though.
edit: if only dayan used their new 2x2 in progress for the internal 2x2...
