Type C clarification

[daniel0731ex]

blue Cs are also retooled, not sure about other colours.

thanks for the info. edited.

UPDATE:

it seems that most of the colors are available in all three versons. does anyone have a colored or transparent 1.5?

Though the picture on the popbuying site is for a C1.5, I received the oldest type of Green Type C in the mail.

I was fine with that though.

But the picture on the site backs up what you're saying.

So I guess I'm using a retooled type C...it's Godlike.

Can somebody give a link to a goodspeed cube to get as my first one. and also a good lubricant. Please my pc is horribly slow and old so I don't like searching the web that much. I would grately appreciate it. THANKS. =D
does it make a difference to just keep buying Walmart cubes(aka rubik's) and lubing them with the good stuff or not?

My personal favorite 3x3 is the FII and I've not done anything to it lubewise or tensionwise since I took it out of the box. Many others would recommend it as well and it is good all around. The only downside is that it has little caps on its cubies which can fly off if you fingertrick extremely quickly (if I sit there and do antisunes as fast as I can usually 1 or 2 will work their ways off) or if you drop it. Superglue can fix it though and if you take care of your cube it won't be a problem anyway, they stay pretty tight until you drop it once or twice.

You can buy the FII here

for a little cheaper but it'll take a good while to get to you (a few weeks)
or here to get it sooner:

By the way - nice to see another cuber from the area. I'm in PF to your east.

THANKS!! I really appreciate it. I just a got cube from walmart and one side is like really spinny. I can spin it all the way around just trying to do a R2. but the rest of it is pretty sketchy and I just gave my first cube to a Valvofer who just joined cubing. and I had one that I got awhile back that is decent. but I'm sick of the cheapness of the cubes. so yeah

it seems like i have either original C or Rubik's.com DIY.
i've never seen the rubik's.com diy, so i can't compare.

what are the differences between original C (1.1) and rubiks.com DIY? is it the core colour?

plastic material, hardwares, and one of the center caps should have the engraving of the Rubik's Logo

 

[dillonbladez]

ok, i guess i have type C 1.1 then. thanks.

 

[miniGOINGS]

Hey Daniel, could you quickly list (or link me to a list) of the plastic quality of certain types of cubes from highest to lowest?

 

[daniel0731ex]

ok, i guess i have type C 1.1 then. thanks.

The type Cs' screws are black and the have small washers. The Rubik's DIY springs have a whatever-you-call-it end bigger than usual that acts as a washer.
The center caps on 1.1 are too big and doesn't fit, while the Rubik's DIY center caps are too loose and falls off easily.
