It seems that an electric doesn't need nearly the peak horsepower of a nitro to have the same or greater performance.

Why is this? Anyone who's competed with nitro, with a BL and knows the nitro HP ratings, understands what I mean. My electric supposedly has 1/4 the power of the nitros but is just as fast.
Area under the curve.
