<\/p>\nMotor choice, many projects I found on line (see Reference designs) had used the Advanced DC 9 inch and it appears to be a very popular choice. Some other projects mentioned using a motor from Netgain have a motor called the War P 9. This motor is designed to be drop in replacement for ADC 9\u201d, aside from have a badass name the specifications look very attractive, and it definitely looks like a step up from the ADC motor.<\/p>\n

Netgain War P 9 \u201cEngage the warp engine\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
!!!Specifications<\/p>\n
Diameter: 9″ Length: 14.69″<\/p>\n
Actual Weight: 135 Lbs.<\/p>\n
Voltage upto: 196V HP at 89v: 28 hp<\/p>\n
Netgain offer 2 versions, the War P 9 and the War P 9 Im Pulse, the Im Pulse is slightly cheaper (about $75 less) and offers a single shaft output, verses a double shaft on the Warp 9. The tail shaft is useful if you plan to run A\/C compressors, etc.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019m farily set on the motor (and not just because it has a cool name, although that does play a small part\u2026 *childish giggle*).<\/p>\n

As you can see from the prices most retailers are within a narrow range, my choice of component supplier is going to be driven by finding someone who can supply all the components give good pre and post sales support – not necessarily the lowest up front cost. Given this is my first project I will need all the help I can get and don\u2019t want to fall into a trap with mismatched components and like to be able to leverage other experience in being successful.<\/p>\n
