Me too. That is the reason. I wish weight wasn't an issue, but for the Integral it really is. Plus I'd have to add a 70g firewall (maybe shave a little weight with holes, but still...).
The Advance is under 600g with the prop adapter, and the mount is 18g.

Lightweight motors:

The Torque "Silver Bullet" (Extremeflightrc.com is one vendor) is 588g. That is the motor intended for the EF Vanquish 2M. The first page on the Vanquish thread has a pic of that motor on a scale.

Motrolfly 5320 (Subsonicplanes.com) is a like a 'boutique' high end motor. Ken at Subsonic planes custom winds whatever you want, so you can get the 5320 wound to 230kV or 220kV. They are listed to handle 2800+ Watts. There are a lot of guys at the other forum running them, many of whom switched over from Hacker. That motor is about 18oz.

Dualsky F3A motor is also posting some pretty low weights.

Some other options: check out the Fury motors from Shulman Aviation. Probably something like the Himax - not sure of the weight, but they are Pletty clones.
