But it's only a spike. Meaning it didn't actually get 14000watts to the wheels

Edit: But yes, it's a lot of power (as I suppose you know)

That 'spike' is the recording system catching an instant or two. That 'instant' was a good 100' of WOT.

It's just shreadding the tires and very difficult to control at WOT.

FUN!

While I can't read the graphs well enough to really make sense of them, I agree the peaks likely don't represent a real power level.

Also if this is electrical measurements, the motor power output would be significantly lower. Motors are not 100% efficient.

I would say maybe 10000watts.. Minus noise and heat produced.. Equals a little bit less than that.

Still a wicked setup huh?

That runs real nice. Most 1/5 scales I see run sooo slow. What's your setup?

It's a difference in rounding. The difference is only like .0001 watt or something like that.

It's a 5ive w/ our prototype driveline parts and a MGM 25063 and Lerner 3080.
Just killed a cell in the chinese battery, so moving onto the TP 70C packs.

Traditionally brittish horses have been bred to be very large strong animals, which in turn equals more horse power per horse, now this should never be confused with little kids riding ponies where horse power is greatly ruduced, my ride on lawn mower has 15 of these wild beasts in side, i think you got more hp than most 250cc dirt bikes

Not even half that of an average 125cc bike buddy.
