So i have a stickerless dayan megaminx with ridges, and i have lubed it, tensioned it, broke it in, and done tons of solves on it. However, it still doesnt turn great. It is locky and actually rather slow. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Use MMAP's tutorial, it's very good for beginners.I got my Dayan megaminx awhile ago and have been trying to solve it. I can get to LL and then use Josh's guide (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...2D6PWkl-dQ2hh30AA&sig2=QZBRAlkvHLkC450H4SlpxQ)
The guide is good but u do not get the Dfr part. What direction do you turn D (Dfr) if you want to move it prime?

Maybe this should go on the "What cube should I get?" forum but, as it is about Megaminx I decided it can go here as well.
I bought a YJ Yuhu Megaminx in black and I think I made a mistake. I always get black cubes and put my preferred sticker shades on them but with Mega there are so many colours that I don't think there are "preferred sticker shades" to put on it any more. Also the stickers are very small and not very well placed... and already starting to peel.
The mistake... I should have gotten a stickerless one. Now I'm thinking between a stickerless Dayan with ridges or a stickerless Yuhu. Any recommendations or should I just re-sticker the black Yuhu?
After seeing Nicolas Naing's video I think a shemgshou could potentially be better (but you'll have to mod like crazy)

Even one that's not modded as well as Nicolas' mega is still really good.
But would you go for a stickerless one or do you see some advantage in a stickered Mega?

My stickerless yuhu sucks, and I've done 200+ solves on it. I like my stickered ones better because I use a weird scheme (and because Shengshou doesn't come in stickerless), but also because both the dayan (with work) and shengshou are better.
I was considering buying a ShengShou Megaminx and mod it. I always use black plastic puzzles but I have seen that the black and white ShengShou Megas have the colour scheme reversed or so it seems on the photos in LighTake. And the scheme in the black one is reversed with respect to the Yuhu scheme.
I mean, around white, clockwise there comes red, blue, yellow, purple and dark green, while in the Yuhu and in the white-base ShengShou it's the same but counter-clockwise.
Is that correct or are these photos wrong? I am already too bad at Mega so as to have to cope with changing colour schemes.
I was planning on buying a SS because I have started to solve the Yuhu a bit more and I really hate the way the faces misalign while you manipulate it and create all sorts of locking issues and even solving failures. It's really annoying.
IIRC, in Louis' and maybe Odder's unboxing, they said that there was an initial mixup in terms of stickering. I'd expect the colour scheme problem should be rectified by now, since those unboxings were done in early 2013. I am also planning on getting one because my Dayan broke.
EDIT: What I don't really get is why SS does not build a new Mega with the shapes of a modded one. It should not be difficult at all for them and they'd sell thousands even if they charge 50% more than for the current one.
Yeah I agree. Just got my SS, and it's turning is almost on par with that of my Dayan out of the box, but corner cutting is literally non existent.
