ehh... another debate scaled down from mini-z to dnano....
first and foremost, it's going to depend on how serious you take racing and that competitive edge? are you going to shave the inside of the body to save weight, trim the chassis, etc? i'm sure there is material that would be deemed nonessential to a hard core racer.
it starts when you don't care so much about the die cast appearance of the scale and care more about the racing edge. there are those in mini-z that stick to derlin wherever possible, shave plastic from the autoscale, cut holes, trim back the glass, ditch the light buckets, cutting up the windows all to shave weight in an effort to make the car as fast as possible irregardless of looks.
i happen to fall into the middle ground where i don't buy every aluminum part to bling my car foresaking performance entirely however i appreciate the scale model look and refuse to butcher the car to shave tenths of seconds off my time.
i'm sure you can find polycabonite bodies somewhere from the slot car world.
