That's how much power the transmission would require at stall, but the output power at stall is 0 hp because the motor isn't spinning and isn't doing work.

The output power for a motor is equal to force x velocity or rotational velocity x torque. At free speed, you have a large rotational velocity but no torque, and at stall, you have lots of torque, but no rotational velocity. Halfway in between is where you'll maximize power.

Nothing. Nothing needs that much power. But a combination of our 2013 and 2014 drive transmissions when you stack them together and take a picture makes it look like one sweet canburglar gearbox. A two-speed power take-off canburglar.
