Hay everyone!
Today, I had the great honour of testing the MoYu Weilong GTS V2
It's been almost a year since the first one, and honestly, we haven't had a true successor.
There are design flaws in the M3, ChuFeng, and um, the other one.
The Yan was okay, but MoYu's downgraded molds, plastics, and springs REALLY hindered these cubes.
As for the Weilong GTS 2, you're probably only wondering one thing:
Is it good?
The answer is:
it prety gud!
It's basically the linear combination of the Yan 3 with the Weilong GTS
The center skirt has been lowered flush with the bottom, the edge fillets are reduced by 1.5 mm , and the inner radius is approximately the same as the OG weilong.
The pieces are now non-capped, which is a cost saving feature. No longer do they need three component molds that have to interlock, they can just use 2 component molds. I assume this has to do with contracting. As a result, the corners are four piece assembly, and the edges are two piece assembly.
The biggest criticism is the plastic and the spring.
Usually with moyu's recent puzzles, the stickerless is a better grade of plastic, and since I main stickerless, it's good for me. Definitely wait for stickerless.
The spring and core is the same from the Yan, Chufeng, M3
What I did to fix these issues is switch the spring with the OG Weilong springs, and then boron treated the plastic to make it feel soft and buttery, like OG Dayan.
After some basic calculations of magnetic force with 2.40mm of plastic between (1.15mm for edge 1.25 in corner), I magnetised it, and it's pretty good!
If I'm not too busy tonight, I'll post picatures and a video review!
Edit: I've now changed it to MagLev tensions, and I have to say, I feel a little icky about the amount of modifications I've done to this cube, including one that I can't talk about yet ):
It's so modified that like, if you described it to someone from when I started in 2007, they'd think you were joking.
