Re: [RC] gas/diesel trucks - Ed & Wendy Hauser"...I have always driven gas powered cars and trucks and my husband says that is the nature of diesel, powerful but won't spin wheels..." Yup. Diesel engines develop their torque at lower RPM and take longer to increase the RPM. If you couple this with a turbo charger, that itself takes some time to wind up and start producing boost after you punch it, their acceleration, unloaded, is relatively sedate, but hook up a 12000 lb. trailer and go over a mountain pass and you will feel the difference.
