Joe, you can make weight with the newer Integrals being careful with motor and battery selection. If you choose heavier motors and batteries it might be a little tough to make the current limits. I have one of the original Integrals and it finished out about 2-3 oz over using TP5300 batteries and a Dualsky motor. That is with all original equipment. However, since the first Integrals came out, CARF has made some improvements to the weight now which has helped on subsequent Integrals I have built.

The white Integrals are about the same weight as the painted ones so keep in mind you will be adding weight when you add the trim colors. I know a couple people that have built the newer Integrals using lacquer rattle cans from auto part stores or from the hobby shop with great results. Since it is not glo powered, the lacquer works great and is about as light a finish as you can get with paint. It dries rather than cures so when the solvents evaporate it gets lighter. The catalized paints retain most of there weight as they cure.
