Comparing motor torque : Nitro vs electric
Nitro motors has horsepower, but what about the torque? does a 2,5cc motor have more torque than a 550 size electric motor?

RE: Comparing motor torque : Nitro vs electric
Wait a second. Electric motors may seem to have more torque, but if you can revv it to 30,000rpm then that should get you out of anything!! The only reason they don't use nitro is because the fuel tanks are too small. It lasts for only about 15-20 minutes. Nitro has more horsepower so that = more torque.
Although saying this, I have a rock crawler with electric motors. I don't like nitro for this because it is too messy. Consider the X-Factor. That has turned out some great rock crawlers!
