Hello,
In this case the torque is multiplied, but the horsepower is not, right?
Its just like gearing up a little winch on the front of your truck. If you gear it up enough you can pull a house off of its foundation, but you have to wait.
Remember the power did not change, just the torque. There are a lot of powerful servos that are very slow, because of the gearing.
