Well, no i shouldn't say that, it was more like almost 700 watts, i was running 16.5 volts, it's 580watts on 14.4 volts.

If i didn't make myself clear, what i mean is real world use... a Lehner XL may take it quite fast, but it would get very hot. These motors got hot, but thats because they were running to their peak, and they are brushed motors.

Peak power is irrelevant with speed (well you need a decent amount), it all has to do with the continuous power output. Yeah, the torque wasn't near the torque as with a BL setup, but then again thats exactly my point! I mean, if power was all that matters, and it took 2000 watt to get a ~10lb truck to get to 60mph, then your runtime would be like 2 minutes... LOL

You know what i mean now don't you??
