does adding torpedoes to a guhong make it basically a zhanchi? and is there a place to get only torpedoes for less than 7.99?

No, adding torpedoes to the Guhong doesn't make it a Zhanchi (it's still not going to be as fast, and it's not like the Guhong pops that much to begin with). As far as I know, there is no other place to buy the lone torpedo-pieces.

Is a Cubetwist Square-2, or mf8 Super Square-1 more worth it?

Also, 3x3x5 or 3x3x7?

best cheap 5x5 besides the v-cube?

First of all: "cheap" and "v-cube" don't really mix, so the v-cube was already out of the question.

My personal favourite 5x5 is the YJ 2nd gen.

Naww. Get a MF8 + Dayan. Even though they medium priced, they are very sturdy and very smooth with awesome corner cutting. Like one cubie on outside and inside awesome. The outer layers feel like a 3x3 and inner a 2x2. Overall great cube for the buck.

 

[CubeLord]

What's going to be the next 4x4 realeased

 

[J cuber]

What's the best 2x2 atm?
The V-cube is the most expensive, but is it the best one?

 

[spy320net]

4x4

No lockups: X cube or Shengshou
No Pops: Uh.. I think Mini QJ pops the least, but they all pop ocasionally
Best price: Shengshou
And the mini QJ needs to be broken in a lot before it's any good. All in all I would reccomend shengshou.

Eastsheen never pops (but outer layers lock up)

I currently have a storebought and a Ghost Hand II. I don't mind the storebought for casual cubing though obviously it's not a great speedcube. I really like my Ghost Hand II but it locks up on me a bit more than I'd prefer.

I'd like to get a DIY because I think it'd be fun to actually put a cube together, so I'm looking for a good speedcube that locks up a bit less than the GHII, but is in the same weight class. I've seen the GHII listed around 75g, and it looks like stuff like the C4U DIY is 100g+, which I think might be too heavy for my tastes. Thoughts?

Get the Dayan 1 cube. Very fast, cuts corners about 40 degrees, and doesn't lock up. Plus its about the same weight as a GuHong or maybe your storebought.
