Which is more powerful?

Brian, the nitro engine will have no torque/power at 0 RPM

How much power the MMM combo will put out is limited by the batteries... 6s with the MMM combo will BLOW the filter off a Picco .28. 4s should be pretty comparable in top speed (electric will still win with acceleration though), assuming good batteries/gearing.

Well, if you are just looking at it from the motor perpective: The nitro has a little more surface area, so it can dissipate a little more heat, and its temp range is higher. But, an engine is also much less efficient than a good electric motor, so I would say the motor has more usable ouput.

Actually, neither has any torque/power at 0rpm, I meant just over 0rpm. Anyway, I was just trying to point out that the curve is way different.
