I plug my ears!!! :019:

Yes, the main difference between nitro and brushless power is well, the torque curve.

A 'watts' or 'hp' rating is meaningless without knowing what the torque is like.

And engine has a narrow usable torque band as far as amount torque over a specified rpm range, where as a brushless motor has maximum torque at zero rpm and naturally drops off from there, but still has plenty of torque up higher in the rpm range where they would get the 'power' rating from. Do you understand?

As far as too much power, "forget about it!"

Another reason brushless is much faster than nitro is throttle response, instant torque delivery, unlike nitro where there is quite a delay in responsiveness. You know what this means.

Just run the amount of cells you want in a truck and that will limit the power, and thus the drivability, and still be able to run circles around nitro trucks.
