Aochuang V6 Testing - 45.69 ao5

Thank you to ‪@MoYuCubeYongJun‬ For sending this cube to me to test!
I'm going to need to test it in comp, but I'm pretty sure this is my new main.
It was way to fast out of the box, but after cleaning out the factory lube and setting it up to my liking it's a lot more controllable.
It's much smaller than the Gan and even a little smaller than the Hong, which is fantastic to see.
It also has a much cleaner and lighter feel than the Aochuang wrm, which sometimes felt heavy and unstable.
Hopefully I'll have the time to record some better averages, but this will have to do for now.

GAN 561 or Aochuang? I’m trying to upgrade from my Valk, but I’m unsure which is the best.

[@jacobnokes]

Right now my go to recommendation is the single track aochuang v6, it's a great choice for anyone upgrading from a wrm, Mgc or valk.
Between the Gan and the double and Triple track V6, it'll probably come down to personal preference, I like the V6 because of the much smaller size.

@@jacobnokes Is there a drastic difference between the single and the double track Aochuang v6?

[@jacobnokes]

@@anishgogineni3624 not really

[@anishgogineni3624]

@@jacobnokesI was seriously considering getting the double track as I thought the difference would be too much to give up on due to the 25$ price bump, but I think I’ll get the single track now. Thank you!

[@bigcubesholic]

Which 5x5 would you rather now: GAN or this one?

[@jacobnokes]

@@bigcubesholic My Gan is still really good, but I'm leaning towards the V6

[@Flamewalllgd]

Since the single track is cheaper than the MGC would you recommend that over the MGC?

[@jacobnokes]

@@Flamewalllgd absolutely

[@Flamewalllgd]

@@jacobnokes do you maybe know if the aochoung single track locks up or not?

[@jacobnokes]

@@Flamewalllgd the ballcore only does so much, I'd imagine that the single track is very similar to this one. I've had no issues with lock ups, and it would certainly lock up less than an mgc.

[@Flamewalllgd]

@@jacobnokes ok thanks for helping :)

[@ccubinglol]

Could u get really good times (world class) on this cube. I’m thinking of really getting into 5x5 but don’t have the money to get the really good 5x5s. Is the single track enough to get world class at the event or not?

[@jacobnokes]

@@ccubinglol absolutely

[@ccubinglol]

@@jacobnokeswhat lubes are good for this cube?

[@jacobnokes]

@@ccubinglol I used Traxxas 50k, but it responds pretty well to most lubes.

[@ccubinglol]

@@jacobnokes ok thanks I just bought the cube with some weight 5 lube since I ran out. Does this cube eat up lube quickly or is it normal?

[@jacobnokes]

@@ccubinglol it's pretty normal

What lube did you use in it?

Have you tried the triple track? What are your thoughts if you have?

[@jacobnokes]

@@robomonk1717 haven't tried it yet

[@reallycoolduck712]

Do you like the hong this or the gan better? Also have you tried the single track version and is it worth the extra 20$ or so for the double track?

[@jacobnokes]

@@reallycoolduck712 leaning my towards the V6.
I haven't tried the single track version yet, but for most people a ballcore is probably not worth an extra $20.

[@reallycoolduck712]

@@jacobnokesthanks so much

[@aaqbed]

Is tensioning a nightmare on this cube? Also, is it better than the GAN?

[@jacobnokes]

@@aaqbed yeah, the center caps do make it quite annoying to tension.
It's pretty subjective, some people will prefer the Gan, others will prefer this.
The Gan has unbeatable inner layers, but poor outer layers. The V6 is more balanced, having fantastic outer layers and pretty good inner layers.
