I have the original Shengshou, it works really well for a beginner megaminx. I know there are better ones out there, but if you aren't super serious about megaminx it gets the job done.
There was 2 competitions recently in Chicago, one in September and one in October, There's a Dixon Competition the first weekend in December which would be less than 2 hours from you.
Smashed all of my PB's with th GTS2M I bought at the comp this weekend.
Single: 14.63
Mo3: 17.18
Ao5: 18.71
Ao12: 20.20
Ao50: 21.63
Ao100: 22.43
Hope to get these kind of times at the next competition!
I think it would be cool if the RCA was like the Harlem Globetrotters to the WCA being the NBA. The RCA would just be for run to watch nonserious events and the WCA is for serious competition.
