Here is another example. Take a look at the Norris Designs Evo and also the RC Developements Evo. They both quote figures around and in excess of 800bhp. But they have 250-300bhp Transmission loss and around 600bhp at the wheels. How does that happen??!! What happens when a cars horsepower increases that affects the resistance of the transmission?? Always baffled me that one.
"250-300bhp and theres what 1.21? kilowats in 1bhp.
Looking at an electric heater that puts out 3kilowats there hot.

over 200kilowats sureley would melt the transmition like chocolate.
