[Help Thread] Puzzle Choice Thread

[Zeotor]

I know that FangShi ShuangRen V2s (57mm edition) is sold in primary plastic, but I havent found 54.6mm Fangshis made completely from primary, just the illusion one that has both primary and black plastic. http://www.fasttech.com/products/2115/10004530/1389201

Champion's Cube Store has the 54.6 FangShi ShuangRen in primary plastic.

The Cubicle does too, though it's out of stock at the time of this post.
Link (It is listed in the drop-down menu.)

There may be other stores that have it; I didn't look around a lot.

Can't believe I have to resort to this thread...
anyway, I'm thinking of getting a new cube, and I want it to be fast (no duh), very smooth, and somewhat quiet.

SS wind fits your description.

SS wind fits your description.

You're forgetting the fact that it locks a ton if you try and go past 5tps. SS aurora or Weilong is a better choice.

Just out of curiosity, Between Weilong and CX3 which has less to zero lockups? I have a Stickerless ZhanChi and It locks up a lot.

Your zhanchi is either set up bad (tensions, lube) or you are inaccurate. Zhanchi does not lock up a lot by any means.

However the WeiLong locks up less than pretty much anything else, but if you are really inaccurate it will too lock up because of overturning.

Which is better...
Shengshou megaminx or DaYan megaminx.

Dayan is better than SS. But, if you Florian mod your SS, it will be just as good or better than Dayan.

Don't trust everything I say though. This is hearsay...

Dayan.

fangshi shuangren or moyu weilong?

I want a cube that is smooth and doesn't lock up easily

Weilong. It's smooth after you break it it and lube it. Before that, it's slightly scratchy.

 

[SweetSolver]

What kind of lube would you recommend for the Weilong?

Any silicone based lube (e.g. Lubix, Traxxas Oil etc.)

 

[fatool]

Be careful with Weilongs, they are garbage out of the box with intense spring noise. However, i loved mine after i lubed the springs and tensioned it right. I highly recommend getting a DIY version.

I disagree with this statement. My Weilong was better out of the box than my awesome Zhanchi.

Senconded. My zhanchi was really good, but this was better out of the box.

Which two cubes should I get for Christmas?

- Maru CX3

- DaYan GuHong V2

- MoYu WeiLong

- FangShi ShuangRen V2

Has anyone tried those four? I am new to speed cubing if that makes a difference. I already have the ShengShou Aurora and Dayan Zhanchi.
