Essentially, it can be an effective, albeit very expensive lathe.Richard Kroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18223071831677926948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155322292785336768.post-59251726170636479672007-08-24T22:26:00.000-07:002007-08-24T22:26:00.000-07:00Heh, heh, I just noticed that the Warp9 did get ba...Heh, heh, <BR/>I just noticed that the Warp9 did get back to me and the e-mail was spammed. I asked them if the the rear shaft is removeable and here is their reply:<BR/><BR/>Steve,<BR/> You can certainly remove the tailshaft! The simplest method is to<BR/>run the motor on 12-volts and place a hack-saw on the tailshaft. Keep<BR/>the shavings from getting into the bearings! Good luck with your<BR/>conversion!<BR/><BR/> Enjoy,<BR/> George Hamstra<BR/><BR/>I think I'll wait for the new mount.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910595180093275632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155322292785336768.post-41142315207234386412007-08-24T22:19:00.000-07:002007-08-24T22:19:00.000-07:00I didn't get any instructions either.

I just assumed that it wouldn't turn unless it had juice, but it's worth asking (I tried to ask the Warp9 people a question by e-mail and they have yet to get back to me - so someone out there has slower customer service than EA!) On the positive side, it's a sweet looking red engine, don't you think?Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910595180093275632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155322292785336768.post-51882759577465994502007-08-24T20:53:00.000-07:002007-08-24T20:53:00.000-07:00Wow, that's good news.

I was a little surprised to see the Warp9 (with tail shaft) because EA told me they would send the ADC as a back-order replacement. I hope they have everything sorted out with you first. :-)<BR/><BR/>I didn't see any instruction manual or documentation with the Warp9. Did you get anything? The reason I asked is because when I tried to spin the rotor by hand, it didn't want to budge. Is there some sort of packing bolt in place?Richard Kroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18223071831677926948noreply@blogger.com
