In RC cars the electrics now with brushless motors are getting quicker than most of the nitro cars!!

WOW
THATS PRETTY AMAZING

I was speaking to an electric motor guru, who makes all the cars for movie sets, etc. I remember him saying 100% of the torque was available at 0-1 rpm !

Beauty of electric motors peak torque available as soon as you turn it on!!
