I agree, if you absolutely must use a plastic, use lexan.

I disagree there are few other plastics that are better suited for a frame than lexan. Polyethylene is probably one of the better plastics to use for frame materials. It is easy to machine and very durable. The names to look for are HDPE (same stuff used in the fields) and UHMW. My best guess is that the gearbox and mounts are some form of polyethylene.
