CC's 2200 KV motor will be good as Neu 1515?

This is what Patrick posted on another thread:

Oh boy -- I gotta jump in here...

First of all, the Castle Neu motors are not yet in production -- we are still hammering out some production issues (mostly magnet procurement...)

Second, the Castle Neu motor is hand wound. I don't believe you can machine wind the Neu design (it's an internal wind -- can't be wound on a fly winder.)

Third, it does run at pretty much the same efficiency as the original Neu -- it is exactly the same design, except for the carbon winding on the rotor, and case and bearings (heavier case, larger bearings.)

Thanx!

The first two motors will be 2200Kv (1515/1Y) and 2600Kv (1512/1Y)

We will add additional motors later.

Sweet I missed this completely. It's a shame it's not the 2200kv 1512 as it would make gearing easier and the rules for brushless 1/8th here sounds like it will require lower kv motors then this.
