If you mean that the colors are painted or something like that, but the plastic is white, then you can use it.

Stickerless means that it is made from multi-colored plastic, thus making stickers unnecessary. If the cube is made from a single color of plastic, it is not a stickerless and can be used.

ok, Mine is stickerless, but painted on and covered in a thin layer of plastic to protect the color. so is my cube stickerless or not? My cube is in the left, my avatar. Thanks

Your cube is allowed. Yours HAS stickers, they just are painted on.
"Stickerless" means the cubies themselves are colored. Your cubies themselves are white.
This is stickerless: http://cdn1.bigcommerce.com/server6...stickerless_b__44954.1350586698.1280.1280.jpg

Stickerless are not allowed because the colour of other pieces are visible without looking at the front. Yours is allowed.

So you are saying that this cube here is not stickerless http://www.ebay.com/itm/321029410595?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648 The stickers are just painted on. seller Told me it was stickerless, so maybe I should talk to them about this.

That one is stickerless in the literal sense of the word, but that is still not a stickerless cube. In a stickerless cube the pieces themselves are coloured while in the one above the colours are painted. Get me?

Need to get a new speed cube
Hello all I was wondering your thoughts on some new speed cubes.
I'm looking to get a new Lubix dayan guhong v2 from their site, I have a v1 a zanchi and a few others that aren't up to par with the ones I have.
I don't like the zanchi due to it popping way to much and it's currently in storage. Any suggestions or thoughts on getting the v2 from the Lubix site are they good reliable and has anyone else picked one up from there thanks

I might suggest that your Zanchi popping is not fault of the cube, and a G-V2 will act exactly the same, no matter how much money you buy it for. Don't look for cubes as miracles, and search the site, try learning not to pop the cube, or tighten it up. All of this information is available.

how is your zhanchi popping unless it didn't come with torpedoes, you removed them, you have it really loose, your turning style is too rough, or some combination of those. either way, something must be improved here and a new cube doesn't sound like the solution

Get a Zhanchi/Panshi/Guhong and get Traxxas to go with that best place to get the lube and cube is from amazon saves you a lot of money. Traxxas is the same as Lubix but your paying half the price for a 59 ml bottle.

well my zanchi has torpedoes I bought it as a dyi cube, I have it tightened down and it still pops all the time. ive tried searching the site along with online just about everywhere I can and everything is pretty much the same thing over and over.
it has torpedoes and is tight, I do have a rough turning style and have tried to improve on this but still get pops quite abit specially on speed solving.

Huh, well it is true from my experience that guhong v2's are much harder to pop than zhanchis, but still, the only way I can pop a zhanchi is to force it to reverse cut line-to-line, or cut 50-60 degrees. If you keep getting pops on it, you should probably try to improve your cubing style, or maybe your cube is defective.

Could you make a youtube video of it, showing us your cubing with a pop?
I mean.. I popped my (loose tensioned with torpedos) main zhanchi once at comp when I was racing with people so I was cubing rougher than I would normally do. BOOM hehe. Other than that.. no pops at comps and sometimes at home but that is rare and when I try and force the cube.
So.. I would like to see a video of your cubing

Take the cube apart and compare all types of pieces to make sure that they are identical (My first Zhanchi had one center cubie that was from a Guhong. Caused all sorts of problems and was surprisingly difficult to notice). I think you could also put the screws in the core, without any cubies, grab two opposing screw heads and rotate around that axis. All the screws you aren't holding should move along a plane, if they wobble back and forth the core is uneven (sorry, can't think of a better word).

CubeTwist. Calvin's is terrible, poor plastic and turns without control. Trust me, I have both and CubeTwist is way smoother and nicer.
