Which Rupes do you have?

[XxBoostinxX]

I have a list of machines...

I recently picked up a 15 MKII (From Todd at Detail Fest 2016)
I did a car the other day and preferred the MKI 21 with a 5" BP and the KB washer mod.
I personally felt it performed better than the MKII - but hey that`s me.
Maybe it`s what your used to.



Kewl, hope to see you at SEMA this year.

I feel the same way about my MKI 21 with a 5" backing plate. I thought I was just crazy, but you saying this makes me think otherwise.

I bought the Bigfoot 21. I can`t say it works any better than the Flex. It`s a nice design, it`s quiet. But for the money I spent, I might have been better off with another Flex. I had the money to spend and just wanted to try something different and jumped on the bandwagon.

The Rupes is just so much easier on the body. Doesnt beat you up so much. With back problems, thats a big deal.

What ya want for it? Is it an MKII or Legacy?

+1... Since I bought my first Rupes, 2 years ago, I haven`t touch my Flex. And I don`t miss it one bit.

I haven`t gone to the MKII yet. I just use the 21 for the horizontal panels and the 15 for the vertical panels and the mini for difficult spots. I really want the Nano for interiors, wheels, mirror housings, and all the places I couldn`t get to before. I would love to have both the short and long neck versions, but that is crazy money. I am glad I waited until they worked the bugs out of the long neck version though. I hope I get the new and improved version.

What issues have the long neck have?
Only issues I had was
Cosmetic flaw
Battery charger not recognizing charged battery to switch to green light
Velcro to backing plate seperation..

Mostly cut with Zephir on their Blue microfiber discs, and polish with Keramik on yellow foam.

Great system!

It looks like the 21 works well with the 5" backing plate so why should i buy the 15 when i do shell out the big bucks?

I just saw a youtube video of Larry from ammonyc do a comparison of the rupes vs the gg6". I do believe the are older versions of the machine cause he said the GG6" had 700 watts vs the 3rd gen which has 850 watts

Rupes 21 has more cut, however the 15 is smoother.

Personally my 21 MKI with the katana was my fave by FAR.

Side note, I`ll be modifying my Katana BP to fit on the 21 MKII. Should be mean!

How much smoother and is the unsmoothness of the 21 smoother than say a pc or gg6"
