Was curious about the power some of the little monsters were making at the recent Outlaw race.
Since they were pulling between 8 & 9.5 Amps at the start of the run then dropping off quickly to
? since the meter could not keep up.
We can get a Watt reading by multiplying amps times volts which in this case comes out to
160-190.
I HP = 745 Watts so we get between .2 & .25 HP out of a motor the size of a big flea. 
Now the
current drops off quickly so I would imagine it goes to about .05 to .10 down track still crazy 
for
something that small.
