True, I guess the torque comes from the gearing:
1. XL can motors have oodles of torque so can gear up loads for more speed.
2. HvMaxx lacks torque but can rev much higher, so gearing down creates the happy medium between speed & torque required to shift the truck.

Something like that I think. All I know is it works when I plug it in & hit the throttle.... I will get a vid sooner or later of my truck working the way it should- its just pouring down with rain like you wouldnt believe at the moment = British summer........
