To me that looks really solid, clever idea, and is probably cheaper to manufacture.

Wrapping may NOT be the ultimate solution:

my Losi Xcelorin's Kevlar bonding/wrapping of the rotor got damaged by sand that got into the motor. That almost killed the rotor, I was able to fix it by putting super glue on it a couple of times. like that the kevlar didn't get loose any further.

The rotor of a mate's Losi xcelorin got seriously damaged like that: the magnets got loose, he didn't put super glue on it, then damage was too much.

They say that the newer rotors of the xcelorins (1/8) have now carbon-wrapping.

an other downside of a wrapping is:
it needs space, but the less space between the winds and rotor, the better.
