Dan Kubin Mojobox V2.2 - Black x Gold Featherweight
Regular price$850.00 USD
Dan Kubin Mojobox V2.2
Newly remastered, this is the 2nd variant of the 2nd generation of the Mojobox. New spring setup that enhances performance, punch, adjustability, and makes it more cartridge friendly!
Now with more versatility and ease of hit adjustment throughout the tattoo. It is more ergonomic, more reliable, and most of all, more performance focused than its predecessor. It is a punchy coil like machine with the reliability and ergonomics of a rotary.
Highlights:
Featherweight Aluminum Frame with Black HD Anodized Finish
24k Gold Plated Parts
Marked stroke dial so you can easily play with the stroke without fear of losing that sweet spot. You can’t make it too long or too short
Specifications:
Normal operating range: 5.3 - 6 volts for lining, 4 - 5.5 volts for shading.
Excellent for fine line, black and grey, color packing with any size mag.
Can drive 14 liners, if you prefer to “set the needle into the skin”
Intended for standard needle on bar. For cartridges, you may use a rubber band to negate the tension by pulling the rubber band over the top of the armature. Needle on bar will have more hit and cartridges will be slightly subdued and less aggressive, which is the nature of a cartridge.
Weight: 2.95 oz
Made in the USA!

RCA Specifications:
RCA version is wired for the harder hit mode only using RCA connection
This RCA motor housing was designed around a Critical Universal battery pack, but fits with most battery packs I have tried, such as Musotoku, Ink Claw, and Papa.

The position of the battery makes the machine’s balance point much more forward, like a pen.

It has 5 stroke positions ranging from 3.5-4mm. While tattooing, hit is controlled with adjustable return spring tension. If you want a softer hitting machine, you don’t have to compromise the stroke length. You can simply adjust the return spring tension on the fly throughout the tattoo.
