For a competition we are building a slot car, and we are building ours in a typical drag/CO2 car fasion. We need the body to be light as possible yet strong enough to survive the crash into the netting at the end of the track (shouldnt be too hard of an impact)
Our current idea is to carve the body out of styrofoam and coat it with a fiberglass or hard enamel for strength.
Any suggestions on the shell/coating (needs to be easily available and decently cost efficient)
New body material ideas are welcome too
