Dan Kubin Sidewinder 46er - Pink x Pink RCA + Clip Cord
Regular price$935.00 USD
Dan Kubin's Newest Sidewinder, the V46er with RCA + Clip Cord!
The 46er is a culmination of my versions 4-6 Sidewinders, remastered and enhanced to perfection. This machine features a very large stroke adjustment range that can suite single needle work, all the way up to the largest liners and mag shaders.
This machine is very strong off the tip with a great follow-through. Its number one purpose is as a strong, precise, off the tip liner; though it has proven to be much more capable.
Highlights:
Durable anodized finish that helps prevent corrosion.
Wider springs for more durability.
Large, easy to turn, hardened steel stroke wheel. Pre-set stroke range and middle timing mark to prevent the machine from getting too far out of tune when experimenting.
Hardened alloy steel impact pin. Positioned towards the rear of the frame to help with noise
Large cam with precise timing mark. Allows for easier, and more precise impact alignment checks
Smooth, easy clamping tube vice.
Forward weight distribution for better ergonomics.
Beautiful brass armature bar, perfectly balanced for a strong, confident, and consistent hit.
O-ring groove in the bar allows for a more silent option (though will reduce performance as well)
Reliable Mabuchi motor. -because they run forever without losing consistency.
Specifications:
Recommended voltage range: 4 - 6.5 volts
Approximate stroke range: 2 - 4mm (keep in mind the stoke goes up more due to the springs. The stroke of a Sidewinder cannot be compared to other rotaries as the hit is completely different)
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.
This will also work good with a right-angle RCA cord.
Clip Cord option still works, it is just wired backwards (Positive Down for Harder Hit)
The position of the battery makes the machine’s balance point much more forward, like a pen.
NEW RCA / Clip cord version with straight up battery position

Weighs 4 oz
Made in the USA
A few words From Joshua about this machine: This is a very powerful and capable machine. It has real nice stroke characteristics, nice and snappy with the perfect amount of bog. The best machine if you're wanting to use one machine for lining, shading, or both. Designed for use with cartridges but is equally effective running needle and tube setup. It has a nice snappy powerful stroke that will drop in nice single pass lines with large or small groupings. As a shader, turn the voltage down to slow the speed and still have that punch to drop in solid color or blend with very low trauma.

Dan Kubin Mojobox V2.2 - Distressed 2 Tone
Regular price$795.00 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:
Brass Frame with Distressed 2 Tone Finish
Numbered upstroke wheel (same as the V3r). The higher the number, the harder it will hit. *Please use common sense & not run it on high volts with a high setting on the upstroke wheel.
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.
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”
