No. I really haven't seen a difference. I've had a couple of exceptional 2 strand motors and a couple of exceptional 3 strand motors. These were all about the same length and had about the same characteristics from max turns and torque through the entire unwinding curve. I've also used 4 strand motors that didn't seem to be much different from 2 strand motors.

The 3 strand motors were a 2007 experiment to see if I could use less rubber in the knots compared to a 2 strand motor. I really don't know if they were successful in that regard. What I know for sure is that I hit a really good stretch of 3/02 rubber that produced some outstanding motors. I used a 3 strand motor to do the site record at USIC 2007, a 2 strand one to do the 2007 WR and a 3 strand one to do the 2009 WR - all from the last little bit of that batch of 3/02.

  Bill ,

  Have you found you get more turns in the 3 strand motor verse an equal
  length and weight of the standard 2 strand style motor? or about the same?
