No, double winds (not turns to be technical) have less torque that's why they feel smoother. Read MB's post again, he has it correct. What is a high speed gear? Do you mean higher geared on the teeth on the pinion, or final FDR? A higher FDR is actually lower geared on the pinion. So the same gearing on both versions of winds will generate a smoother feel in the double wind since it takes away some torque but still maintains the same length of wire wrapped around the armature (turns). Double wind arms are really only used in offroad where you want to take away some of the punch on the bottom end of the throttle to make a mod motor easier to drive.
