Gramlights should be called Gram-notso-lights. I have 57s myself. They're not that light. Kosei has some really light ones, but can't remember the model, sorry. If you want, I can weigh my Gramlights for you. Go magnesium if you want hardcore lightness

maybe so but plastic is an insulator so it dosnt transfer heat very well so very bad brake fade will kick in and that defeats the purpose for a track car or even a DD.

now if it can handle the power of a drag car then it would be good lol
