[Video] LancetheBlueKnight's "Pimp my Megaminx" Video (How to mod the PVC Minx)

[ChrisBird]

This is a great video for how to mod any type of megaminx, but it works best on PVC Minx's. It works amazingly well, almost as good as Meffert's Minx!

I love this video
I have watched it lots of times and i have a PVC megaminx coming soon

 

[ChrisBird]

Oh sorry, I should have checked *cowers in fear of mods*

Where is the best place to buy a PVC megaminx?

 

[ChrisBird]

Cubeforyou.com (IE7) or from Cubefans.com (firefox).

This is the only place I know of besides Ebay that sells quality PVC Minxs

 

[Tortin]

Deal Extreme sells them for cheap.

I'm planning to get one from DX. I'm assuming it will suck out of the box but once I do the things in this vid to it it might become pretty good. ANd if not, it's only 7 bucks down the drain.

From my experience with DealExtreme, the shipping was slow, and the cubes were all broken within a day of getting them. When I contacted them to have them replaced or refunded they told me it was my fault for them breaking, when obviously it was a cheap product. I wont be buying from them again, and I wouldn't suggest you do it either.

Maybe DX just dosent like me though, other people have told me great things about it, but its not what I experienced.

So which megaminx is the best? The meffert's, mf8 or the pvc megaminx?

 

[ChrisBird]

If you are going to mod it, et a PVC minx, following Lance's tutorial, but if you want a good minx without having to mod much, get an mf8. (All my opinions)

 

[Rodrigo Piaggio]

Why Lance sand the minx after lube it? this make all the plastic dust remain in the internal mechanism. Most people recomend clean-then-lube.

the megaminx's from dealextreme have stiff and long springs so if you get it replace the screws and springs

I got a black dx megaminx and it was really stiff out of the box, but i lubed it and it got a lot better. My friend got a white pvc megaminx from dx and out of the box, it was as good as mine and he never lubed it.
