Warp9 101 A peek into Richard Rau’s new motor

Hey all

Thought I’d put a post up about my first encounter with Richard Rau’s brand new Warp9. Richard is looking for some cosmetic adjustments and add-on’s and has allowed me to post some things I’ve found once I got a peak inside. First I’d like to say that this post is not to promote a Warfield vs. ADC war, but to take a motor and show you all what I like and what I don’t like to see inside a motor. Again this just my opinion.

First of all the motor ran awesome when tested, and I thought it had a nice overall look to it. The brush ring is made out of the GP03 broad which offers a higher heat rating as well as higher strength over the GP02 grade boards. All in all it’s a well made motor, but this one has a few issues that I noticed once I got it opened up. I’ve decided to add comments to the pics so you all can see what I’m describing as you are looking at it, rather than a long winded typed report. I’ll be posting more pics when I’m able.

Anyways I hope you find this educational.
