The thunder has a longer stroke (around 4mm, I believe) and a more powerful motor. It's great for lining and color packing. The spirit is shorter stroke (3mm?) and a motor that's not quite as slammin' as the thunder. It's great for black and grey and color blends. They can both be used for jus about everything though. Just depends on what you like and how you work.
Do they run as fast as the flite?

Not sure what you mean by "as fast as" but the power band on both is pretty wide. 6-13 volts is more than a lot of rotaries have. And at 11-12 volts they're going pretty darn fast.
guys a cheyenne is a direct drive rotary tecnically you have to use the machine the same way as a direct drive.. the only thing different between it and your standard direct drive is motor, its design around cartridges and its can reach really really fast CPS rate before the motor shuts down
Awesome man thanks. I have been using fk machines for a long while and am used to lower volts. I have a flite and have been wondering about the hawk but not sure of what one to grab.

not trying to highjack the thread but since they are being discussed, how does the spirit do for lining, you know with only having a 3m stroke?
spirit for lining not good to line with a spirit you need to alter your technique you need to pull instead of push the line and you need to run it fast which if your line me and have a slow hand for lining it doesnt feel right thunder is a better liner you can go any direction or speed and it wont snag in the skin and because of the more powerful motor you can feel the power and feel what you are doing its great and for solid colour in difficult places its a god send for sure.. if i want colour blend or do black and grey spirit if i want solid lines and to pack colour in like a bitch thunder
I'm using the thunder for everything now...have the spirit and og hawk...and there not getting a look in...definitely one of the best machines I've used
if goods on the left, then im sticking to the right
The Spirit is awesome for smooth B&G or building up "blends"..However,imo, the thunder is a better all rounder....
