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.
I noticed that as well, i have a Novak hv brushless with 375W, which is roughly .56HP and have no trouble running with the nitro's, must be the torque


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise
