-Martin Cacan
The FIRST Guidelines, Tips and Good Practices, from 2005,
lists this motor as 346.9 oz-in at a stall current of 114 amps.
The torque is proportional to the current, so multiply the
torque figure by 40/114 and you should have a number that
is good enough for your purposes.

There were anamolies in the 2005 table, so you should check
the stall torque and current in some of the other other tables
that appear in the sticky threads in the motors section.

Have fun,
Eugene
