Here is size comparison.
Shockspot V1 (Old)
Dimensions 16.5” W x 22.0” L Up to 30.0” High
Dimensions Folded 16.5” W x 22.0” L x 5.5” H
Shockspot V1.5 (New)
Dimensions 16.5” W x 26.5” L, 39″ to 47″ H (Vertical Thruster) or 25.25″ H (horizontal Thruster)
Dimensions Folded 16.5” W x 26.5” L x 5.5” H with legs attached, 6” W x 25.0” L x 5.25” H with legs removed
So yes, the new Shockspot is slightly larger in size.

The new Shosckpot 8" machine is more powerful!
It has a maximum thrust of 20.91 lbs of push force.
That's 125 inch-pounds torque equivalent for a 12 inch rotary machine
Compare with the old Shockpot 8" machine:
Which has a maximum thrust 17.535 lbs of thrust.
Equivalent to 105 inch-pounds torque for a 12 inch rotary machine.
How much more powerful is it?
The Shockspot 8" V1.5 has
3.375 lbs more max. thrust push force.
Equivalent to
20 inch-pound more torque (12 inch rotary machine).

Again, that's nearly a 20% improvement.
So the V1.5 is a notable upgrade on the V1.0 machine.
Thank you for providing this useful comparison data.

These new specs refer to both the 8 and 12 inch machines.
The only difference between the 2 machines is the thrust length (8 or 12 inch).

V 1.5
This is an exciting development.
I thought they had shut up shop or gone bust.
The website is back online and a new machine model.
Are there any other improvements other than the power and speed?
It would be awesome if there was a proper Shockspot App — Any news on this?

Is this me being optimistic, but 1.5 is like half an upgrade, perhaps there is a full version upgrade due in the not too distant future.
Shockspot V2.0?

Good find as there not openly advertised on the shockspot website.
But for the sake of £200 it would be mad not to buy the new model.
Are there any benefits to buying the old version still?

Hi,
How much were you thinking of selling it for?
I have been wanting a Shockspot machine for years, and looking at one of the new ones at the moment.
But if you're selling it cheap, I might be interested in buying it.
