NEW version of ShengShou 4x4 ?

[mati1242]

Hi all !
Recently I was viewing the chinese mf8 forum, and I found this photo:

I think this is the new version of the SS 4x4 which may be a lot better than previous versions or worse because of how the pieces look.
In the background you can see the blurred red box with window which is characteristic for SS cubes.

The pieces are a lot more rounded, and the design is a little different - reminds me of a LunHui 3x3.
I'm curious about this one

Hmm this looks really different. I wonder how the inner pieces are done.

 

[YddEd]

Don't think I'll be getting this. V-cube 4

 

[BillyRain]

Will somebody PLEASEEE think of the children..... and get rid of those annoying internals -.-

 

[BrainOfSweden]

Well, this one seems like a much bigger version jump than usual, so it might be worth an upgrade even for us v5 owners. Looks really interesting.

 

[windhero]

Hopefully it works great out of the box because modding this one seems to be a bit more of a challenge.

Looks good, I'm getting this

I like how it seems to be "pre-modified"

Before I opened this thread I thought, "Oh great, shengshou made another minor change that doesn't make much of a difference."

I think I was wrong. This looks like a big jump.

This looks pretty promising. I wonder if it's part of that new jiguang line that shengshou is producing that is supposed to be better than their normal cubes.

I remember seeing someone post that same photo on FaceBook about 3 months ago

It does have a golf ball look... I wonder if those spots would eat up lube or if they will catch or what.

After watching the Sci and Discovery channel on TV I now know why there are the holes(dimples) on a Golf ball. The Holes help the ball fly faster and make it less air resistance. I don't know how it will affect this 4x4.

Yes, yes... but this is not a golf ball flying through the air. This is on the internals of a cube. I think the greater factor is friction, not air resistance.

I know that but it might hep make it faster and smother.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Oh.. now this looks promising indeed. Wait and see!

 

[Lchu613]

Well technically air resistance is friction I think.

But I know what you're talking about,.

 

[solvelecewbe]

Wouldn't the dimples reduce surface area therefore reduce friction and making the cube faster?

I'm thinking the same thing

looks interesting. Can't wait to get my hands on it
