Sheng Shou SS 4x4 V4

[gokkar]

I am really curious to know how the V4 handles lockups. Even after modding the crap out of my V3, it's still not entirely satisfactory. Maybe I've just been spoiled by my ZhanChi...

 

[yoinneroid]

Actually i tried switching center pieces between v3 and v1 and it reduces a little bumpiness, i don't check anything else though

Also, having that nub means it definitely is a v3, however not having them could lead to the confusion between v1, v2 or v4

 

[Endgame]

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.

why that

 

[PandaCuber]

Wow thats cheap!

 

[robosariobo777]

So does this version fix the turning of the middle layers?

 

[Kattenvriendin]

I never had a problem with it, so maybe yeah.

 

[googlebleh]

lol how did we not notice this before? all those people who modded their SS4's must have taken them apart and examined the center pieces

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

Cool. I guess that explains this then, I've probably got the V4 (not certain though). Still locks, but I hadn't tensioned it yet. Taken it apart to mod but not had the time yet. I'd be interested to know the exact differences between V3 and V4.

[Kattenvriendin]

Well I have taken mine apart and saw the centerpiece. It confused me that it didn't have that nub, but yeah.. I am not going to make a hubbub over a nub that isn't there.

Cube Depot also has ss v4s. I ordered one thinking it was a v3.

Is the shengshou 4x4 meant to be clicky?

Hi I just bought my new shengshou 4x4 and 5x5 but the 4x4 seems to be very very noisy, whereas the 5x5 is ok. Is the 4x4 meant to be noisy?

 

[Kyooberist]

Is it sort of a high pitch "hhhghggghhh" sound? Mine is like that.

 

[MarcelP]

Yes, my 4 X 4 is also louder than my 5 X 5.

 

[benskoning]

They are out of the box. But after mods and lube they are smooth.

Konsta mod

 

[Hermanio]

The difference between the V3 and V4 are those little knobs in the center pieces, right? So, if I cut those off do I get a V4-like cube or what?

 

[canadiancuber]

ok i did the konsta mod and now the inner layers are sexy. but the outer layers are really fast. how do i make it like.. um good

 

[LarryLunchmeat]

I got my SS V4 a few months ago and found it virtually identical to my SS V3. Great cube and everything but no different IMO.
I'm quite sure that the those little knobs on the center pieces aren't the cause of the SS4's terrible lockup problem.
