Note that for a long time I shied away from D wind motor , but lately I have used a few TP motor that are "D" wind, as long as you set the timing accordingly, there is no drawback whatsoever.
With the TP motor, I am partial to their 36xx motors but have not had any real world experience with their 40xx motor, the one I ordered had to be send back due to the front end-bell mounting holes out of spec ( this was a rare machining defect) and I could not mount it . Gave up, they gave me full refund and CS was good.
I've had the same experience. I can't say whether the d wind draws more amps, but I've run the piss out my boat and it has run the same temps (motor cooler actually). I've said it before and I'll say it again, do not let the d or y wind be the deciding factor....the more important factors are the kv and can size. Just put timing at 0 for a d wind. I've read they have more top end. I cannot personally confirm this.
As for the OP question, after taking apart the first leopard motor I ever have just last night...I can say I'm not a fan. The build quality looks shoddy at best. I'd recommend a castle 1515 or a tp 4050. The tp motors are built Suprisingly nice.....just make sure you add screws to the rear cap. (Castle would be my pick)
