A bigger motor is capable of moving a bigger heavier truck much easier with less heat and a longer life. A bigger motor is capable of producing the same amount of power as your smaller one without heating up as much because it isn't working as hard, bigger rotor equals more torque, and a bigger can has more surface area to dissipate the heat better.

I sure wouldn't put that motor in that truck, and it sure wouldn't move that truck easily! I was asking an honest question, not making a point, and the reason is that I just really don't get it. The reason I don't is that the motor has so much torque that I can flip the truck and land on the wheels again, and if I gear higher, it is so fast that above 60ish, it REFUSES to stay on the ground; SO, I don't see how I need more torque. I'm not saying I DON'T, just saying I don't GET IT.
And I kinda still don't, for the reason stated above. Sorry. Am I dumb for this??
