I'm not sure what your point is here...
The Castle NEU motors have slotted stators. This is stated in the description on the RCM product page:
"These motors are 4 pole, slotted, brushless motors wound with 1 turn in a Y configuration."
All things equal, slotted motors are more powerful than slotless motors. The makers of slotless motors make up for this by using high-energy, rare-earth magnets but this comes with a higher price tag.
If a high slot to pole design is used you should end up with a more efficient slotted motor.
I am happy with my HV7.5 and race with it in my mbx5. The HV motors do not have the torque of a NEU 1515 but, IMO, they work quite well for 1/8th scale buggy racing.
I purchased the HVPro 7.5 system for ~$215 shipped and I think that's a fair price for what you get.
Anyway,
In many (if not most) cases, the difference between 1st and 2nd place is the driver
