Here is my og hawk modded by rick at stylus. 3.8mm throw and spirit motor. Shazam. Thing runs like a beast at 7-8volts.

that's crazy cool!

so how does that run? and what all parts are still thunder? and is that a give spring I see? that's just really unique:D

Its an og hawk body but the last production so it has a spirit motor.... he replaced the hawk cam and push bar with something closer to the stylus so it has somewhere in between the stylus s and h give... but a way stronger motor. It puts down bold lines with ease and saturates color fast at like 8 volts. Smooth black and grey at 7volts. Ive only used it for a few days, ill post a photo of something soon.

That's amazing asA. Do you know if he will do anymore? And do you have a contact? I could do with a transformer like that! Although I may as well just buy a stylus!

Just hit him up on the facebook. I know he is crazy busy just building stylus' but im sure he is always open to projects. Rick serna Is his name.

Attachment 21971 did this broken pocket watch today with my frankenhawk. Really digging it.

I think you may just have the perfect machine.

^^ I really dig it! It's become one of my daily go to machines.

What's wrong with your thunder? Does it turn by hand? Is it frozen? I'm an electronics technician by day. This thunder motor is a motor most have never heard of. It is called a ball bearing motor I've read. Weirdest shit you've seen as far as motors go. Pretty much a vertical shaft and probably a bearing top and bottom. A couple contacts. One on the outside of a bearing the other on the shaft. It just depends on how the engineer designed it. voltage plays a role, but it's the amperage or current that actually turns the shaft. It why the special cord or PS was needed. It needs a large jump start to get it rolling. Have you made any progress?
