cube4you A and D type diy comparison

[aLp1ne]

I like a's a bit better because they fit my cubing style, i agree, D's are smoother and faster, but a's cut corners like slackers and i have a really tense style, so a's fit me great.

hmmm. why not try the type A third model with type E centers..turns great and cuts corners as usual type As do yet it doesnt pop ( maybe because of the type E centers.

and btw, i didnt insert those tabs for my edges. u dont really need dem

I still don't have an A yet to try, so I can't say much, but I have a Type D (lubed) from Cube4You.com, so here's my two cents:

It locks up and pops on me whenever I try and speedsolve (go faster than 4TPS), so it gets frustrating to finish LL with it popping every 5th solve... the stickers are not resilient, and come off -WAY TOO EASILY-, (I used the set of stickers to on my old cube) and without the foresight to buy more stickers, the entier cube is now essentially a black core with white all over... (this is after two weeks of use)

I guess I have to buy another Type D (does anybody know if this comes in DIY-kits?) and two type A (DIYs)...

I have a Type A cube ("old" A, I think) and I'm going to order and try Type D cube.
By reading this topic I understand that I can combine D parts with A core and it probably will be really good, but the question is: is it possible to use A parts with D core, just to have 2 cubes instead of one (doesn't matter, if quality is low)? Do I get a working cube that way?

indeed you do and honestly, that leftover cube should be pretty good.

Type E is better.

no 1 is paying any attention to u
why do u even try

 

[Sune]

I bought several old A cores, and they came in 2 different variations. They are both plastic, not nylon, but their shapes obviously differ:

Which one is old A? Which of these two should I place into my D?

 

[Vulosity]

I have both and they are both old type. I put #1 in my type D.

 

[PeterNewton]

i have new regular a, a-II, and third model, and the regular and third model came with the 1st core. the 2nd i think is the old core: http://cube4you.com/231_Old-Yellow-core-(a).html
i think a-III also comes with 1. http://cube4you.com/index.php?gOo=goodspic.dwt&goodsid=479
my a-II just has some really skinny brownish core.

More by mistake, due to PayPal and my bank account, long story ...

Question: the color scheme is correct ?

If white is on top and red in front, green is in the left and blue in the right side.

I really can't distinguish if in that picture the color is orange or red, or maybe i don't want to

Hope it will turn nice.
