Default Fake Netgain WarP9....what is it really?

Someone tried to pass this off as a WarP9 by painting it and a few other details. It has a splined shaft. Any one know what brand of motor it is? For a forklift motor? Any info appreciated.

What's clued you in to it being fake? Based on the pictures, looks like the real deal to me (just with a splined shaft - might have been a custom order). George could tell you for sure (ghamstra@go-ev.com).

So did they tell you who performed the cloning? I'm quite impressed - it really looks quite like the real deal. I'm sure it's not as good inside - there's a lot of little secrets that go into making it top-notch.

The motor belongs to another member on here, I was asking if anyone knew anymore about it. All I know is that he told me the guys at Netgain said it was fake. He ran it on 12 volts and it turned, but decided he wasn't going to use it i guess.
