Hi Everyone!

Just got myself a new Victas Niwa Wood(7 Ply all wood) and Tenergy 19 FH, Tenergy 05 BH. I really like the setup! I would like to prepare myself an alt as close as possible combination leveraging Aliexpress, might be just an experiment. From what i have through the forums and AI, I was able to get to: Sanwei V5 PRO blade, and AK47 Blue or Yellow for FH and AK47 Red for BH. From your experience, is this the closest I can get or do you have other suggestions?

Thanks!

Blades might be less of a task than finding rubbers that
a) rival the performance of tenergy rubbers
b) provide an equal feeling to that of tenergy rubbers

For European rubbers, a) is not a big problem, while b) still is

Chinese rubbers should be even further away when it comes to the feeling.

Thanks!
1. Blade - Fextra 7 or Sanwei V5 Pro?
2. Rubber - So the AK47's are not the closest tensors to Tenergys?
i play and like to play with chinese rubbers and they are not even remotely like any tenergy. you are better of with cheap esn like vega pro or other japanese rubbers like stiga mantra (pro) then with any chinese alternative.
btw ak47 are total crap compared to something like vega pro and only good for hobby players or beginners.

the only rubber that felt a tiny bit like a japanese rubber was the loki telson, but only after two thick layers of booster and the price is nearly the same as if you get the stiga mantra pro from aliexpress, so better get that 100%
