Pretty close. But IMO that massive flywheel also contributes to 'grunt',
while technically it doesn't change the steady-state torque available.
Just switching to a lightweight flywheel makes the TR3 motor much less
"tractor like", without actually changing the measured torque or horsepower.
Torque is kind of like electrical current; power is either current times
voltage, or torque times rpm.
