HPI Flux Tork 2200, is it a Castle Neu or a Leopard?

[fastbaja5b]

Am a bit confused by the HPI Savage Flux HP Motor, have heard conflicting reports that it's a Castle Neu 1515 1Y in a different case but have also heard that it's a Leopard motor built to Castle specs. With the increase in price for magnets central to these Neu motors has pushed the Neu 1515 1Y from around $170 to $255 (tower) the HPI motor on the same site is still in the $163 area. Is this an unrealized bargain or are the two motors fundamentally different (besides the outer shell) and is this word I have heard that the HPI motors are just cloned (albeit authorized apparently) motors actually true?

I know when I bought my Flux HP the fact it had a "Castle Motor" was a big selling point, but is it a Castle Motor? (I ask as I am changing my 2350 flux motor out to the Tork 2200 in search of some cooler temps and 5/6s running with a MMM Esc)
