No horsepower without torque. Torque is the twisting force and horsepower is work done over time. Both quantitative measurements and either factor is useless without the other. Moot anyway, but I don't think it would matter because I don't think a small glow engine will last long with all of the OPs intended "hop-ups". Especially in a Redcat car and an SH engine. RTR sport engines work fine in that kind of application, but pushed too hard.... Not sure how it's gonna hold up. I expect if the hop-ups work, there's gonna be a broken crank or rod in the engines future. But we'll have to see. I'm skeptical at best.
