Last weekend I got to scope it at the Australian Tattoo Expo. It's a neat little thing. Yes definitely a new motor. You are correct about the vice lever. That is a prototype and being that it is metal it's way, way heavier that the v2.1, but I was told that it would be available in different materials. The rca is on the upper rear of the machine, going upwards instead of rearwards. I look forward to these being in production.

Also they have a new 3.2 mm cam available.
