I have the red & black Ambition Soldier with 4.2mm stroke. I can't find any videos on it's cam and stroke talking about the 4.2mm cam. Do they come with different size cams to change out? Are the cams available for replacement and affordable?
I used mine for about three hours and it started making a rattling noise. Any suggestions as to what it is? I didn’t notice anything damaged so I’m stumped
It could either be that you cam is not tight enough on the motor. Or i noticed nine starts making a lot of noise when you are working the tip of your cartridge. If you let your needle hang it sometime stops making that noise too.
Maybe somebody in the comment section has the measures of the bishop wand? If i know i am willing to try to replace the ambition motor with an original bishop wand motor. I checked the prices and saw the original motor is about 250,- but i cant really find the measurement anywhere. Ofcourse if it fits i will make a video about it for everyone who would like to do the same. So comment down below if you have a bishop wand and know the measurements! Thanks in advance!🙏
Hey that’s exactly what I was planning on doing. Purchasing the soldier and swapping out the motor n cam for bishop. It works as stated by someone on RU-vid! Have you tried yourself?! Thanks bro!
I dont think they make it specially for this machine. But some brand might be able to fit if there is a universal size. I personally just wrap the grip and clean it afterwards
I’m looking into getting one bro but I hear mixed reviews about them would u recommend this for a amateur artist ? Any problems with it (battery , overheating, etc.)
I will for sure recommend it if you are a beginner. The battery lasts forever. I have had 0 problems with overheating and it works really well. Allthough i do prefer to use it without the battery, but that might be a personal thing. Thanks for watching my video 🙏🙏 have a great day
@@Tattoobart147 😂 fair do you know any other budget friendly machines that are reliable? I recently got into a shop and start tattooing clients next week.
If you are going to be tattooing in a shop i would go for reliable instead of budget. You can check the equaliser proton pen. Of maybe the pen from goodstuff. They are not top of the bill pricewise but are very good quality machines
Inusually run it around 6-6.5 for lining and around 4.5 for packing and shading. But this is all personal preference. What works for me might not work for you.I would always recommend to start of slow and if you feel like you need more speed increase the volts
I dont know because i dont own a mast tour pro (would love to) in my oppinion its a good liner and packer. Not the best soft shader, but it will work just fine
Ive been checking this machine out for a while now. My bishop wand only lasted 7 months and tapped out. I tried a mast upon switching form my coils to see how I liked pens, it lasted 110 hrs. I bought a replacement and it didnt even fire up. Bishop, wont even reply to my requests and messages regarding the poor performance of this thousand dollar tool. My opinion is if you can buy 5 of those for the price of one useless 1082 dollar machine than why not. On another note.,, I have had and still use two Neo Tat rotaries from Tap Daddy,, I have had them for 8 years,never fail still smooth as butter and I cant for the life of me figure out why these new pen style rotaries,., the motor especially, are, and lets be honest , disposable unreliable garbage . I enjoy the pen machine for its ease,,,. but honestly here, 8 years vs MONTHS ?,,. “PRO” pens and cheaper ones alike all let you down. thankfully I was taught and use coils as well or things would be a disaster. Great video thank you for the valuable insight cheers
Yeah thats always a risk with rotaries. I do think its weird bishop wont reply to your message… i am not using a pen on daily bases because i dont like the feel of them for every kind of work. You as a coil guy will know that nothing lines like a coil. Neo tat machines are really nice to work with. (Or so i heard) Although i would considder that if you break so many machines in a short amount of time there might be something else. For example using it at a very hight voltage all the time, maybe something with the power supply. Or with different kind of cables. But definitely sucks… Hopefully you will get a refund from bishop… I try to buy my machines from smaller local builders. They seem to have way better service when your machine has a problem
@Tattoobart 147 thank you for that info I'll definitly message them again. The two I broke I ran on both a cord and battery , used my Bishop according to their suggestions, never went over 9 volts and used the power supply I bought from them to go with it . Greased at 150 hrs . Maybe I just got a lemon but oddly enough I hadn't seen that link you sent me anywhere so I totally appreciate that :) and yes I agree I love my coils for lining.. Mickey Sharpz are my weapon of choice amongst others . Cheers!!
Nederlands bart ? Heb zelf de wand versie van ambition met 4.0 stroke helaas met snelle kapotte motor maar hij was echt stil Dus nog steeds benieuwd naar deze , alleen niet zo weg van amition klantenservice . Ik vraag me alleen af wat het verschil is met de normale wand versie die maar 58 euro is zonder de batterij haha heb zelf de wand shader en zoek nog steeds een oplossing voor de packer achtige heb een stilo pen thomas carli jarlier 4.2 maar zelfs met de batterij van fk iron voelt hij helaas te zwaar voor mij ( misschien omdat ik de wand gewend ben ) verder echt een super machine . Thanks voor de review !
heb de revieuw afgekeken haha was te snel , maar het probleem met je pols heb ik dus ook met de stilo dus ga denk weer terug naar vaste kabel is gewoon minder zwaar :D
Hey! Ja ik ben nederlands. Ja de klantenservice is helaas toch altijd het nadeel met producten uit china. Ik ben toen wel redelijk goed geholpen, misschien omdat het om een klein onderdeel ging. Wat het verschil is met wand en de soldier is heb ik mezelf ook altijd afgevraagd. Wellicht is de mast flip van dragonhawk een goede optie. Ook omdat je de stroke kunt aanpassen. Of als je voor iets van europese makelaarij wikt hebben kun je ook kijken voor de pen van right stuff. Die hebben ook mooie spullen. Hoop dat ik je vragen zo een beetje heb kunnen beantwoorden👍
@@Tattoobart147 dacht het al whehe ja ben al tijdje dingen van dragonhawk aan het checken heb al een mast tour plus besteld helaas is het helemaal dicht in china (covid) Ook was ik dicht bij een aankoop van de flip met fikse korting helaas te lang moeten wachten op antwoord van cust service toen was de actie voorbij en meer als 100 euro duurder haha dus dat werd hem dan niet meer . Heb ook een sense mast 4.0 stroke in huis maar moet terug de grip is niet goed en cards kunnen er niet goed in en door het harde wringen prik je jezelf in je hand omdat deze machine de naald niet terugtrekt als hij uit is dus is echt een no go . Ben nu bezig met een oplossing voor mijn stilo pen want met draad is hij veel lichter en top . Maar het liefst zou ik 2 wands willen hebben of 2 dezelfde groottes met 2 strokes omdat je qua feeling dan hetzelfde heb maar goed dat zien we wel in de toekomst whehe
Ja dat word even sparen dan. Wel alle waar voor ze geld. Heb zelf geen wand maar hoor wel hele goeie verhalen erover. Packer schijnt ook top te zijn om dikke lijnen mee te zetten. Maar uiteindelijk denk ik dat je zelfs de shader all round kan gebruiken. Het is misschien hier en daar wat aanpassen maar zou moeten kunnen
@@Tattoobart147 zeker .een sterke machine met hoge stroke op laag volt 5 Max is voor mij perfect voor realisme 💪🏻 de wand shader is ook geweldig en dus de packer de perfecte aanvulling Idd even goed sparen ☺️
I am not sure, i dont know if the pin on the motor is the same size. If it is it might be a solution. Maybe it was just bad luck for me because with the new cam from the same brand it seems to be running fine. And i have been using it quiet often
@@Tattoobart147 hi I’m the same guy as Fuji. It just signed me in on a different account. I opened up my bishop wand today and it looks like the cam might fit but I’m sending it in for a repair or cuz it’s still dead.
Is there a way you can measure the width when you inscrew the motor part and also the lengt of where the screw ends till the end of the push bar? I am curious of its possible to replace to soldier motor with an original bishop motor
