I've dyno tested (and raced with) one of their 17.5 motors. It's performance is virtually the same as a Novak motor (though it may run cooler due to the vents in the can). See attached screenshot (black line is the Novak, gray line is the Turnigy). I've only seen 1 person claiming it was faster than the others, and he was using a non-approved ESC. Maybe not really in blinky mode?
