    thunder with spinner power

    Hi folks.
    Question. i almost made up my mind of buying a cheyenne hawk thunder machine.
    Anyone knows if it runs good with a swashdrive spinner power supply?
    I had the first cheyenne hawk a few weeks ago and it only started at 9 volts.
    I was thinking of going to my supplier and bring my spinner with me just to test it but this would save me a trip.
    Cheers

    I believe you need the hawk startup cable with all other no hawk powersupply-it starts it at high volts then drops it down.

    With my thunder I run a cx-1 v2, with t-techs they start at like six volts and any volt higher with no problem. When using official Cheyenne carts I start them at 12v one time run it like 10sec., then I can drop it down and start at way lower volts thru the entire tattoo, no problem. But not a huge deal at all.
