I remember reading somewhere that offroad winds were tailored for more bottom end torque where onroad winds were made for higher rpm for top speed.

A motor I wish I did not sell a couple years ago......
Got this Checkpoint motor now after a 3 months travel. Comparing with other Checkpoint Platinum motors this seems an older version, based on a Yokomo can.
Didn´t knew this before but this motor also is using the small slot brush setup. Someone...
There had been pictures of a motor before what was named as Checkpoint Platinum with the difference of using regular brush gear instead of the slot type brushes. This was actually something as an OEM can sold by Checkpoint to Fantom for their early...
