What is this kit for?

The common uses of a body kit like this are varied. The most frequent is repair: after an accident on the track or a bump during transport, the bodywork may suffer damage that affects both the aesthetics and aerodynamic performance of the model. Having an original part ensures that the final result is identical to factory specifications.

The second common use is customisation. Many enthusiasts purchase unpainted or undecorated bodies to apply their own livery, using paints from brands like Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido, along with custom decals. The redesigned cockpit included in this reference also offers a visually richer starting point for those who want to work on the interior of the cockpit.

The Chaparral 2E: An Iconic Prototype

The Chaparral 2E is one of the most recognisable racing cars in the history of American motorsport. Developed by Chaparral Cars and Jim Hall in the mid-1960s, it was a pioneer in the use of adjustable high downforce wings, operated directly by the driver via a pedal. Its unmistakable silhouette and innovative character have made it a favourite among collectors and slot racing enthusiasts.

Ideal for...

• Owners of a Slot.it Chaparral 2E who need to replace the bodywork.
• Enthusiasts of customisation and painting slot car bodies.
• Collectors who want to have a spare body as a backup.
