   At least for short term performance. Still skeptical about the thing
   taking long term heat.

   They made 830ish on a turbo 2 rotor with the aluminum rotors. Videos on
   youtube.

   Yes the trick is making them hollow to cut the weight and having cooling

They say that that they weigh 3.2 kg loaded. 7 lbs.

That is a two pounds savings. Not bad for a solid aluminum rotor.
An exact copy less the one pound gear would be about 2.64 pounds.
