Aren't the Shur R1 and Turnigy Trackstar re-badged/re-tweaked Reedy cans?
Personally, I have found the Mach2 to be an excellent motor. It has high rpm and a very wide powerband, which is important in a spec class with a limited gear ratio.
Speedo's make a big difference in how the motor translates that power. Not sure about being TCS legal, but setting timing and punch make a huge difference. I recently switched out a Novak Edge with an Orca V3, and the difference was night/day.
