The power at the wheels is less (don't confuse power with torque, the torque at the wheels is greater because of reduced RPM). You can never have as much output power as input power unless there is 100% efficiency. In the case of our RC vehicles (as well as real vehicles) there is mechanical efficiency as well, determined by the drivetrain and weight.
