2015 Flite Nano

Byron just posted this teaser photo today. As a guy who only uses the flite v2.1 I am super excited about this.

Does anyone know anything about this new flite?

Where do I have to send my money ?!

Here are my observations:

This is probably a limited edition brass version. Most will likely be plastic with cool designs and colors.

The rca is behind the motor. This would be nice to keep the cord further away from the back of the hand for better ergonomics. I was also worried that with the flite v2 I could potentially get water through the tube and into the top of the rca jack. So this is a small improvement.

The entire motor chamber looks thinner .....a new motor? I have no quarrels with the v2 brushless motor. It runs much faster than anything I've used. And it's smooth and never bogs down. What could be improved upon?

If this is the vice version then the little bit just above the K could be a small vice lever that presses the tube upwards when locked....just a wild guess really.

Looks like the same stroke cams and flex give bars.

Anyways, I don't know why I want one yet but I know I want one.

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.

Whoops I was mistaken about the RCA plug direction. It's back but they had an L-shaped jack going into the prototype.

Also the vice release is super easy to work, it acts like a gun trigger; you hold the Nano in your hand with the top of the machine going towards the web between the thumb and forefinger and then squeeze the release. The one-handed release also makes for the easiest adjustment of a tube I've ever had in a machine, coil or rotary.

Really appreciate the info DougHardy.

It looks like it may be using the flat Faulhaber pancake motor. Unless there is something else out there that I must need to be aware of!

the faulhaber has way to little power and speed to push what an inkjecta normaly pushes , so i guess it's the same brushless maxon?

I know. But for what I can see on the picture it looks likening it would be using the same brushless motor the machine would look a bit bulkier.
