And if a measly 34oz-in of torque sounds low, remember that torque is amplified by the gearing. So, if the total gear ratio is 15:1, the torque then becomes 510 oz-in (2.65 ft-lbs). And at the 50% efficiency the 240oz-in torque multiplied would be 3600 oz-in (18.75 ft-lbs)!! Compare that with nitro engines who can maybe reach the 2.65 ft-lb mark at maximum. Nitros beware!
