So here is a question I've been wondering can you use hot wheels body's on slot cars? aren't the bodys to heavy?

I have seen it done before, but you do need some serious power in order to haul that body. I've only seen it done with some of the drag racing guys (DRHOE,
etc.)

i guess the only thing you can do then is make a negative cast of the hot wheel then use a light base substance to make the positive

You can cast the body in resin after making your mold, like what many others do.

 I'VE heard that some people have a class for this. My friends would take
their favorite who wheels and make slot cars out-of-um. Then race them ! They had a blast

Here's a piece done by Larry on die cast conversions. Here's a few that I've done using Marchon chassis. They run suprisingly we ll http://www.homeracingworld.com/diecastconversion.htm
