70mm i believe...porting the TB will give minimal if any gains in actual performance, but maybe a little better throttle response. stock TBs are one tons of motors that are making 600+ motors, most of them have been ported in some way or another but i'm sure that at the lower power levels the porting is worth less than it is with the higher power levels.
