Shengshou 4x4 and 5x5 mods?

[samchoochiu]

Can anyone one link me to the "best" mods of these puzzles? (ss 4x4 V3 and 5x5)

Also I do have an x-cube I love it, but I saw monkeydude1313's SS 4x4 in is recent parity video and it looked amazing. So I thought about getting one.

Do you guys think the SS 4x4 with the mod will beat the x-cube?

thanks!

Shengshou 5x5 Mods:

I just finished them and the cube is as great, as good if not better then my Modified V-cube 5.

As for the Shengshou 4x4, i'm not sure which version you have but if you have the V1 you should ditch it and get the V3 and do the Shengshou 5x5 mod. Don't do the extended mod because the corners are already very Dayan like. But if you don't want to ditch the V1 do this:

Personally the best 4x4 is the Dayan+MF8+Lanlan 4x4( you take the edges and screw+ springs from a Lanlan 2x2 and put them in the 3x3 inner core). You can also do the same thing with the Mini Dayan+MF8 and could get good results, but I have not tried a Mini so I don't know.

the 5x5 mods above are from me, and so i can say, that the cube is just AWESOME! i'm sub 1:40 with this thing right now

In the words of Florian.
Anything that isn't round, sand it.

Just cause it looks amazing doesn't mean it'll suite you just as fine. Everyone has a slightly different cubing style.
I can say that the X-Cube is not worth the $30-40

Shengshou 5x5 mod worth it?

It seems that the full shengshou 5x5 mod is time consuming. Have you guys had an amazing result from it? I am not willing to put the time if its only going to help a little. I do have lock up problems during 3x3 part but I am assuming it will still break in.

 

[The Bloody Talon]

break in SS 5x5x5 is perfect! (well, for me)
IMO, there's no need for modifications.

 

[emolover]

I did it and it did very little. It is a little bit faster and a little bit less locky.

 

[samchoochiu]

even with all the edge, centers, and corner mods?
If I saw the vid correctly the full mod is ALL of the pieces

Can yours reverse corner cut?

Can yours reverse corner cut?

A little bit.

The mod is not worth the time and effort. It took me about 1.5 hours.

I spend more than 10 hours on modding my 5x5 and every body loves it. Feliks is 25 seconds faster on my SS than on his. It is worth it.
10 hours sounds alot, but you can do it while doing other stuff e.g. TV, chatting with friends

 

[Goosly]

I spend ~3 hours modding the corner-centers, wing-edges and corners, and it's less locky now. No one else tried my cube yet, and I also don't have a second 5x5 to compare it with, but my PB went down from 3:00 to 2:40
I'dd say it's worth it

Florian, do you have a video showing which parts you've modded?

What did you do to your 5x5 if you don't mind me asking?

 

[axe97]

i did it, and in my opinion it wasnt worth it. i did rush through it though, and it still took quite a while.

I find it hard to believe that Feliks is 25 seconds faster than when using his SS. wouldnt that mean he had like a 35 second 5x5 solve?

Feliks is doing like 1:25 with his cube...
He used Florian's cube at worlds.

He is like 55-1:00 on my cube and 1:20 on his, 25 was a bit exaggerated.
My cube weren't fully modified at Worlds, it's better now.

 

[somerandomkidmike]

If you want a cube that's actually good, you should mod it. That's just my opinion though.

What did you do to it if you don't mind me asking, I would like to try it myself

After doing to first mod, the cube was much faster and seemed to lock up less. After using it for a bit it was just locking up as much as an un-modded cube. After doing the "Extended" mod it was just amazing, passed my V-Cube because it is faster and locks up less. Just do the mods, its an amazing cube afterwards.
