Probably this thread should stop the hp/tq discussion - it is obvious it is not solvable in a public forum.
David isn't giving you an option to use power in answers he only talks torque and uses wheel speed to show useable moving energy.
He's at odds with the whole extended industry, Drags are won with Horsepower, Trucks are rated by Horsepower, Electric motors are rated by power.
He's complicating something that isn't that complicated. James Watt did us all a favour and David's trying to take us back before his time and rewrite engineering without power.
Obviously just my observation David.
The answer to the question at the start is to identify your weak areas and improve them, no traction...get some, no power... get some, wrong gearing....correct it, poorly balanced chassis...correct it.
Ignorance leads to confidence more often than knowledge does.
Nah, I'm not leaving myself out of the ignorant brigade....at times.
