MoYu Crazy HotWheel Comparison

A couple months ago MoYu released a puzzle called the Crazy HotWheel.  It is obviously a shape mod puzzle, but how is it different from the Crazy Fisher cube.  Let’s take a look.

Both cubes look very similar from the outside.  When scrambled they both look equally as mixed up, and both of them need to have the centers oriented to be solved.

The main difference is the the Crazy Fisher cube is well, a Fisher cube.  What are normally edges are now centers and the centers are now the edges.  The Crazy Hotwheel is just a regular 3x3 with the cuts set at an angle.  

They solve relatively the same way.  The only issue can be if you have never solved a fisher cube before in which wrapping your head around the concept of edges and centers being switched around can be more difficult.  Both cubes feel very similar and turn very well.

Now is it worth it to buy it.  If you like to collect different puzzles than of course having both makes sense, but if you already have one that getting another might feel  repetitive.  If you do not have any I would suggest getting the fisher cube instead because of it’s slightly higher difficulty.  If you already have one but want something a bit more difficult I would suggest the MoYu 4x4 Fisher Cube. 

The Crazy Hotwheel is a great puzzle and if you have never used a shape mod puzzle before this is a ton of fun to solve.
