35F and cloudy today. We had a little bit of snow/sleet yesterday, just enough to race around and do some donuts with the 1/5 scale 2-stroke RC car. It was a wonderful Christmas though, great food (home grilled filet mignon steaks and Maine lobstah tails), great gifts and awesome company! Kevin

The dissolved 200D Frankenheap (W115) is quite pleasantly drivable, even with only 55 or so HP. Plenty of torque is what makes it work. The 12V Cummins, even with its very low RPM range (750-2500), is a good driver. Mucho torque. What do they say? HP==top speed, torque==acceleration. -- Jim

Those numbers don't tell you the whole picture... you need to look at the plots of power and torque through the whole RPM range. But from this data, we can see the 606A makes peak torque at 1600rpm, which is even better than the already low 2000rpm 3.5 603a, and will feel significantly faster

The HP and torque figures for the 603 got me to thinking about how it compares to the 606.  I find it interesting that the 603, even the 3.0 has more torque than the 606 turbo.  I was also curious about the 617 v 602 figures but could not locate 602 torque figures with a quick google search.
