Sheng Shou SS 4x4 V4

[applemobile]

I have done several orders with them and they are very good. Certainly are trustworthy.

I'm considering buying some cheap 3x3x3s in bulk for a 10+ multi BLD attempt in my first competition, and I've been ripped off by (unfortunately) websites based in China a couple of times before. Is this site trustworthy?

Yes it is, I ordered a new 2x2 and 4x4 - 8x8 and the shipping from China to UK only took a few days.

Any picturs of the mechanism?

Of course he is entitled to his opinion, just like others are to theirs.

Just looked at my order, turns out I ordered 2 by mistake :lol:

I'll be happy to take one off of your hands if they are a different cube!

Now what IS the actual difference between the pieces?

Now what IS the actual difference between the pieces?

"This one is the newest and best performance version of Shengshou 4x4.

Actually,Shengshou 4x4 has been released four versions. the v4 has been out for several months, but the factory has not named it publicly. so most of us still take it as v3. We have confirmed it with the manufactuer(the boss of Shengshou) that the current version should be v4. So now we renamed it v4.

There are 7 modifications from V3. The center piece is almost same as the V2's. So,pls dont take it as V2. smiley"

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Now.. WHAT is the difference between the v3 and v4 so we can determine whether we have the v3 or really v4?

Man I find that a most irritating way of doing things, throws everything version wise up in the air.

 

[yoinneroid]

To differentiate the v4 from v3 is pretty easy, just check the center pieces, whether that little nub exists or not

 

[Kattenvriendin]

I thought it had to be there on the v3?

So NOT having it means I have a v4?

 

[yoinneroid]

Sorry if i'm not being clear enough, having it means you have the v3, while not having that nubs means it's a v4, so I guess what you are saying is right

 

[Kattenvriendin]

I was already confused that something might be wrong, considering I had ordered the v3, and it didn't have that pin.

Now I have a picture of my 4x4 hihi v4 then!

 

[Endgame]

Here are some photos of the V3. If the pieces differ and you've bought a 'V3' in 2012 which has different internal pieces, you actually have a V4. Pay attention to the center pieces.

Definitely a v4 in my picture then. Cool!

 

[mati1242]

The V3 is actually V4 but only difference is center pieces which doesn't have those little anchors in v4.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Yep. Have pieces = v3, have not pieces = v4.

 

[Endgame]

The V3 is actually V4 but only difference is center pieces which doesn't have those little anchors in v4.

it was already pointed out there is more to it.

 

[ben1996123]

Looks like I have a v3 then.

Spoiler

 

[mati1242]

But - does even do something to the cube ?
Less lock up's ? I don't know but I may try changing center pieces from my SS v1 to my SSv3 and see how it will be performs.

So this means that the people who have bought modded "V3s" from thecubicle have probably actually received modded V4s.
