You may want to look by power output in watts -- it seems to me I've
seen "1kW" brushless motors, but no "1.4HP" ones.

look up "astro flight" in california. They make some pretty serious cobalt
magnet motors, brushed and brushless.

There's another US maker of high performance motors on the east coast, the
name slips my mind, but they clearly sell motors and gearboxes for RC
airplanes.
