What?

Horsepower equals Torque times RPM.

What are we teaching kids in science classes now a days?

********************************
Sure does ,, but what I think he was getting at was that the power of an electric motor is more or less linear ,, no curve just a straight line , you have the same torque per hundred rpm at barely running and at 10k.

Just think how easy dialing in that rocket is... keeping it just below the traction threshold.
