[QUOTE="Bobbo3234, post: 1344449, member: 16252"] Motor characteristics differ from motor to motor (gas or electric). Power is a function of torque and motor speed. The power rating of a motor is defined as at a specific RPM. Just because you are running your 300HP motor at 5RPM you are not necessarily getting more torque at 500RPM. This is important when using the calculations. The big thing you are missing in your comments is gearing. A higher HP motor will have the potential to output more torque at the same speed as a lower HP motor if it is geared correctly. Also depends on the speed vs torque curves. Bottom line - horsepower is a function of torque, they are directly related to each other. You need to look at how you need to get the power to the road. [/QUOTE]
