I went to Colorado and stayed with Lubix Cubes for the weekend! IT was pretty awesome I had the chance to try out his Dayan Zhanchi Prototype. It is the most awesome cube! It feels like and Lubix Elite! Check out donovans review for a more detailed review! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hnr3YVM172k

anyone know when this will come out?

 

[Hershey]

Can you make a comparison between the Lunhui and Zhanchi? Which cube is better or would it just be preference?

 

[y3k9]

Do want, do want. Everyone calls speedcubes at my school "Jesus cubes".

But they're just C4U's, I wonder what they'll say about this..

By the way Tall5001, did Donovan ship out my Elite?

I think it was announced sometime in this coming month maybe in june at the latest

I dont have the Zhanchi anymore because im back home but i would rather have the Zhanchi then the lunhui

By the way Tall5001, did Donovan ship out my Elite?

Sorry im not sure i think he was in the process of making it that weekend he was SOO busy it was crazy dont worry he is probably just making it perfect for you. Did you buy it for $91?

Uh...no. I bought mine for 61.01 usd. It was the third one he put on ebay.

I prefer the LunHui over the ZhanChi prototype.

Oh gotcha nice!

I prefer the LunHui over the ZhanChi prototype.

Have you tried the white or black ones not the transparent ones?

 

[Shamankian]

I'm with b4p4076, I prefer my LunHui over my ZhanChi prototype (green for people who cares).

Makes sense i guess. Maybe donovans was just good because he replaced the core with a A1 core and fully lubed it with lubix

 

[Hershey]

This is the thing I am trying to figure out. How is the lunhui better than the zhanchi (or vice versa)?

I belive that the zhanchi is more what a gu hong is like. All they did was fix the popping problem. It is a little heavy but i like that. It doesnt have that crispy feeling at all. It is all smooth. And because it doesnt have torpedos it doesnt lock up like the lunhui

Then that would make the zhanchi PROTOTYPE better than the lunhui (that is not a prototype), lol lunhui must suck.

False.
Although I haven't used a Zhanchi, the Lunhui is a very good cube.

 

[Tall5001]

No the lunhui is fine. I just think that this prototype of the Zhanchi is ALOT better then any other cube that i have ever felt!

 

[Shamankian]

Fair enough, each to his own Well, I hope the ZhanChi comes out soon so you can get it Tall!

I also got to try a black one at NEMO 2011, which felt almost the same as the one I own.
