Well, I don't know what you think 'kind' of power an outrunner has, all I know is that an electric motor has watts, and the wattage is a product of speed vs. torque, and every motor has 100% torque at zero rpm and drops from 0rpm to max rpm. I really don't think there is anything different in an outrunner, except for motor inertia (although it's spinning alot slower, so that is near canceled out), it has many times more torque, but spins many times slower, so power ends up being the same as well.

Unless I didn't get the idea you were trying to convey? Explain in more detail?

On a side note, I posted some pics of roughly what I was thinking of when I said tilting the trans and making a mount for the motor in the center of the chassis, and lowering it. Check it out. Looks like a pretty balanced setup?
