YJ YuHu Megaminx

[collppllzbf2lll]

Okay so I just got mine (actually ordered two, to go sure with the screws). The one I tried did have a bent screw. I replaced that screw, lubed all the screws, and tried a few different tensions (which always takes a while).

Well ... it sucks, don't get it

The only usable tenisons are very loose ones. But even at tight tensions, it feels much too loose / wobbly / locky. With all the lubrication, the sides are very easy to turn, but you can't really do a solve without getting lock-ups every three turns.

you could've ordered a screw set, it's only 2 dollars i think.

I've said this before, but people who seriously use the YuHu obviously have no real interest in Mega.

Really? I've used every kind of megaminx in existence, barring void, and I'm in love with my YuHu.

Should i go with the yuhu megaminx and risk the bent screws issue or just go with the shengshou?
And have the bent screws issue gone on the megaminx in the market now?

I had no bent screws. I would say you should be safe. It's much better at reverse corner cutting than SS.

Same with me no bent screws and my YuHu was a pre-ordered one.

Okay thanks!

And can the bent screws be straightened up with normal pliers?

Just a question out of curiosity.

Anyone knows why the Yuhu 'R' is not available in chinese cubes stores?

 

[Cubister]

I just bought a normal Yuhu (without 'R`) for a cheap price. The packaging is a little different from the
card board box.

Out of the box it was very lose and wobbly. It was almost impossible to turn a layer using 1 finger without a lock up. I tried harder tensions which made it a tiny bit less wobbly but it still locked up frequently.

I took it apart, removed the sticky grease, lubed and tensioned it and compared the pieces to detail photos from retailer websites. It is a legit Yuhu, without bent screws. After solving it a few times the lock ups remain.

Right now it is a disappointment. I guess I should have listen more critical to the comments on cubicle and in this thread.

weird mine dosent lock i have mine so loose the centre came off once must be your rough turning style

 

[Cubister]

You own the same non 'R' stickerless version?

Even if I place it on a table on the white side and give the grey layer a few pushes in one direction with 1 finger, as soon as I push the layer into the other direction it locks or catches. So no rough turning at all.

One thing I noticed is, the white and grey layers are tighter than the others. But when I try to loosen them further the screws come off.

I don't like the instability of the puzzle and the bumpiness when I turn a layer. I guess that causes the lock ups. This puzzle is not what I was looking for. I wait for reviews and especially comparisons with the new Funshi Lim, Shengshou Aurora and X-Man Galaxy Megaminxes.
