Lightest 17.5 Brushless Motor

I am curious what manufacturers has the lighest 17.5 brushless motor. Looking for a light on for the 1/12 and . The Team Orion Vortex, and the Team Trinity Duo's cans look hogged out more then any other manufacturers but I can't find the weight of them.

Thanks Tyler

I think the Orion 17.5 is the lightest. It is about 3mm shorter than most motors. I have one and it's definately lighter than the Novak, Hacker, LRP and Tekin motors.

I know that it may be a lot of work but could you weight it and post the g's.
Thanks Tyler

I sold the Novak and LRP. But if I get the chance I'll weigh the Orion and Tekin. If you have the time I'm sure they post the weights on the Novak site. Maybe even the LRP site too.
