The Orion/Peak/Reedy/Integy/Atlas/CheckPoint 19's are all hemi winds and have 1/2 turn less copper on them than the KD and C2. They have the potential to turn more RPM...but they dont because they have much stronger magnets. They do produce more torque so you can get them way taller.
In sedans they are all much faster than Trinity 19's. In 1/12th I thought the stronger magnets might be negative for efficiency but it didnt work that way. I am fairly sure they are all faster that the Komodo when geared right.
I guess we will find out for sure on the 26th
