Way too much power. I've seen a touring car with a 4.5 turn literally power-slide the entire back straight of a 90' carpet track, and on outdoor tracks they are faster in a straight line than 1/8 scale. The 3.5 turn motors are sometimes used in 1/12 scale where they run a 1s pack, but the 2.5 turn motors arent even much use in drag racing, maybe if you had something heavy.
