For example the truck with a 55 turn will run up a steep hill, loaded, at little loss of speed with no struggle to it. The 80 turn on the other hand struggles and slows to a crawl. I would expect the 80 turn to pull the hill with ease if it truly has more torque...

Can someone explain if I missed something....
Out of all those motors, the 55 turn should be the fastest, but the 80 turn should have the most torque. Why doesn't it? There could be lots of reasons, but motors are not all created equal. Especially not when you are only spending $10.
