On the other hand, Estes definitely experimented with spiral tubes for mini-motors and they some how got out because I have a couple of examples. Photos are up here in some thread. I asked Ed Brown and he said those should never have gotten out in a retail package. I’m pretty sure I bought these in 72 or 73 at a small hobby/toy shop in Athens, GA.

I have a number of packs of the Centuri Mini-Bs and they are not spiral wound. I have not seen any spiral wound tubes in any of my Centuri-made mini motors (i.e., the longer mini motors before they were shortened, at which time they were made by Estes and the Centuri motor making facility was closed).
