I also don't believe Tamiya deliberately made two different types of motor for different markets, more likely Tamiya changed motor suppliers and to match the performance of the old motor the new supplier had an off the shelf 23 turn motor. Tamiya printed up the can and sent this batch to Europe, and someone took the time to unwind one of these.

Interesting, how many years ago would that have been?.
From memory don't think current Sport Tuned motors have timing advance do they?
Do we know if they current motors are 23 or 27 turn, they don't seem to have the power to be 23 turn
I suppose that would make the older ones faster?
