I am comparing the different Netgain motors. With the space I have available I am pretty much limited to the Impulse 9, but I want to feel good about having it in the EV.
The Impulse 9 costs more, and has less horse power and torque then the Warp 8, but the Impulse 9 has more brush area, so I am concluding the Impulse 9 must be a tougher motor. Does it handle higher RPM’s with out damaging the commutator? Do the brushes last longer?
The Impulse 9 weighs about 20 pounds more then the Warp 8. Does the Impulse 9 run cooler at higher RPMs then a Warp8?
My only reason for getting the single axle Impulse 9 was to save 3/4 of an inch in length over a Warp 8 with the rear axle cut off, but Netgain must make them for some other reason, or not many people would buy them. Speed is not a big deal for me, and I would be the type of person to trade some performance for durability and reliability, so maybe the Impulse 9 would be the right choice for reasons beyond being 3/4 inch shorter.
