Electric vs. nitro, watts/horsepower.

Does anyone know if XRC has dynoed CEN's 7.7 engine? I believe they (CEN)clame 5hp for that engine. That is a huge engine but still seems like a lot a power.

Don't know, but any Nitro motor will put out that HP for a small rpm range. Above and below that range, the HP will be substantially less - especially at the low range where you need it most.

If I remember correctly it was like 1.56 hp and .59oz. of torque. Definitely NOT 5hp.
