    Ego r12

    In my opinion one of the best most versatile new machines. Anybody else liking it?

    How is it compared to other cart machines like Edge X, Thunder and such? I miss my Ego v2's every now and then.

    I haven't got a Thunder or Edge X but it's a very close 2nd to my Flite V2. Very comfortable to use in the hand and plenty of power.

    Cool. Looking for a new machine for carts and it's so hard to decide what to buy...

    If you go on instagram and check out all the team ego posse the colour saturation and blending is awsome with the ego range of machines. All there stuff is bright colour. Like cartoon or neo trad ect.

    I really dig my R12. But if you're overseas, hope you don't need to send it in for service. My motor seized and I contacted them to replace it. It took a month and a half of vague, inconsistent emails and poor communication before I got mine back. It runs great now but I don't know if I'll be buying another Ego machine.

    Yeah i really hope they sort their customer service out because in the UK they're pretty notorious for being useless! Great machines, shitty follow up!

    That might be a dealbreaker. Btw can you swap the plunger bar or is it a fixed bar?

    That's definitely it's strength but it's also a great liner. I think that's why it's so good when you can adjust machines on the fly like the Edge X or Swashdrive's Brush. The best set up for the r12 is hardest give for colour and lining but softest for shading. So ideally you'd have 2 machines. They can definitely do everything though. Check out Bez's work or the work of Elliot Wells to see what these machines can do in the right hands!
