I received my ShengShou 6x6 yesterday from E3CubeStore. Out of the box, it was absolutely TERRIBLE!
I could barely turn any of the sides; for a moment I kind of thought it was a joke (it was that bad).
After playing with it for about 15 minutes, it wasn't getting much better, so I tried to tension it. I needed a screwdriver (and a lot of force) to get some edges out, but I finally got the cube open.
I loosened it, but then it wasn't much better, even though it felt really loose.
So I proceeded to take the whole cube apart to discover the 3x3 core was extremely stiff and barely moved at all.
I'm gonna try lubing it with Traxxas 50K Differential Oil this week (it's in the mail at the moment).
Did anyone else have this problem with their SS 6x6? Does it respond well to lube (I hope it does, since mine came unlubed)?
