I don't have an original to compare it to, but it is an incredible motor! I'm hooked on them after owning just 1, I've got a Feigao XL motor just sitting on the floor which I'm probably going to just give to a friend of mine because I don't want that filth in my RCs

The KV rating of the 1.5D is too high for the Muggy IMO but it still runs great. On 4s lipo it wheelies back onto the wing nicely with the front tires ballooned like crazy and has the power to tackle anything I've managed to throw at it. On 5s it's even more insane. I run a 13T pinion and it runs perfectly, but when I had my 20T pinion on it I only got it to ~155 before my MGM thermalled.
I plan to buy a Tekno 2.5D and drop it in my Muggy and move the 1.5D to my Hyper, IMO it's better suited to Buggies because they're lighter and have much smaller and lighter tires. Overall the quality and power is simply amazing, I will not go back to cheap motors again. You get what you paid for, and in the case of a Neu motor that is no exception. It's worth saving your $$$ another paycheck or two to step up to a Neu (unless you are looking at a Medusa, they are supposed to be fairly close in performance for half the cost). Neu motors are a 10/10 in my book, I absolutely love this motor.
