    I think the stroke on this is about 3 mm if im not mistaken, Gaston would know for sure. Haha i end up taking someones design and just keeping the idea on a lot of them and draw something else haha, usually works. You cant go wrong with any fk irons machines thats for sure. super dope machines and customer service.

    Just got mine a day or so ago.. will give it a run out latter this week..
    So far, just running it unloaded, it seems a real nice smooth machine, well balanced, well constructed and with almost zero vibration..
    It has a nice touch of give I notice too..
    So, anybody with any more feedback on how you are rocking with this machine?

    So had a good session with the Direkt last night.. on hip/stomach area.. 3.6 stroke.
    It ran sweeeet.. pushed t-techs, 7rl and 13 curved mag real easy.. lined @ 8.5v, dotted @ 8.2v, shaded @ 8.6v and packed @ 8v..
    Great machine overall, good balance with a t-tech grip, pretty silent with smooth constant hit... Love the very light give too.

    I've been using the direkt for lining, and holy crap it's awesome! It seems like the needle tension o-ring is starting to loosen up though. I've been supplementing it with a rubber band. What other tensioner options are there for this machine? New o-ring, or just rubber bands?

    Pretty specific to your question I should say..
    Are you using carts to line?

    When I use carts I have very low tension on the band- haven't tried the O ring option yet- mine wasn't supplied with one and haven't got round to sourcing one.
    Love to line with this machine, haven't picked up my coils since I bought it. I have seen some healed lines and they looked great, very tight.
    oh and here's a gratuitous of mine with the bishop grip

    Hey buddy, all machines come with O-ring since day one, it could've feel out of the box :/ However get in touch with Kayleigh at [email protected] and we'll send you one a couple at shipping cost only.

    Thanks, yeah maybe it did I guess, I got from killerink. What is the specifications of the oring, can I just get one from a hardware store? Haven't been too worried as lakky band works fine for me anyway.
