you would be amazed how much torque you need to spin a prop, i used an 8 by 4 prop to run in and get a base setup on my .21's and they do struggle a bit with what would be considered a correct size prop for them, cars require less torque and more revs due to the gearing whereas a prop requires loads of torque and lower revs as most are direct drive.
