Hello,
Anyone have a Netgain Warp 11 for sale?

I don't have one, but it's "Netgain", which might help with search matches.

You don't want a Warp 11.

Seriously.

Spend your budget on anything else you need to spend it on, and go get a forklift motor instead.

If at the last minute, you decide no, you really want a warp 11... then just swap it out. You'll have a couple brackets to change, everything else will be the same.

I haven't heard of anyone buying a Warp 11 in years, hence, people who did buy them being unable to sell them for a fraction of their cost.

Hello
I have a new but already 8 year old Netgain. Unfortunately, the shipping costs are definitely too expensive, from Germany to the USA.
Cheaper you buy in USA.
Greetings Boxster warp

Matt,
I'm just trying to write out all of the things that I need and I'm having a hard time. What type of motor would you suggest? I want to stay below 3000.00 for a motor if it's at all possible.
I was looking at a DC conversion because it seems easier than AC

I think Matt is just suggesting that rather than buying a new premium-priced WarP motor intended for aftermarket use, you can buy a motor of the same design - a brushed DC motor - more cheaply as a used unit salvaged from old equipment. Because the most common type of equipment that used (in the past) these motors of a suitable size is a forklift, they're often called "forklift motors"... no matter what they were actually in.

Indeed, Brian's reading me correctly.

You're headed for a simple, budget build. Not a performance build.

I suggest looking into cheap/free forklift motors which for your purposes will be nearly identical to the Warp11.

Since you're doing a budget build, you need to save as much as you can for the things you can't save money on (like batteries).

Controller-wise, pick up a Prius Gen 2 controller. Guys are finding them as cheap as $50. Then, soon as Damien get around to testing them, he's made a little control board to control DC motors with it. he's got 10 in stock already. Probably cheap as chips, well under $100 is my guess. Maybe closer to $50. Cheapest DC motor control ever.
