Chaparral 2E Body Kit

The Chaparral 2E in your hands: a legendary body in Slot.it kit form

The Chaparral 2E is one of the most revolutionary racing cars ever built. Designed by Jim Hall in the mid-1960s, it was a pioneer in the use of an adjustable rear wing — controlled by the driver via a pedal — anticipating modern aerodynamics by decades. Reproducing this machine in slot is not just about building a car: it is paying homage to one of the milestones of engineering in the history of motorsport.

Slot.it offers this body to enthusiasts under the reference SICS16B, in its usual body kit format, designed for those who enjoy the process of assembly, preparation, and customization as much as the final result on track.

Features and highlights

• Official Chaparral 2E body in kit form, reference SICS16B.
• Manufactured by Slot.it, a leading brand in 1/32 scale slot racing.
• Kit format: ideal for assembling, preparing, and painting to the enthusiast's taste.
• Faithful to the lines of the original Chaparral 2E, with its unmistakable high rear wing.
• Compatible with Slot.it chassis and mechanics for Sport track (compatible with Scaleauto tracks).

Scale and level of detail

As is customary with Slot.it, the body accurately reproduces the proportions and characteristic lines of the Chaparral 2E, with special attention to the most defining elements of the real car: the low nose, the open cockpit, and, of course, the iconic lever rear wing. The kit format allows the modeller and slot preparer to work on the piece in their own way, from sanding and priming to applying decals or custom liveries.

Track performance

As this is a kit body, the final performance on track will largely depend on the preparation you apply: chassis adjustment, motor choice, type of guide, and hardness of the tyres. It is an excellent base for those who want to maximise the potential of the Slot.it platform on Sport track, whether in club sessions or more serious competition.

Ideal for…

• Slot enthusiasts who enjoy the assembly and preparation process.
• Collectors looking to add the Chaparral 2E to their display with a custom finish.
• Club competitors who want a quality Slot.it body to work on their own setup.
• Modellers with experience in painting and decals who want a project different from static modelling.

Frequently asked questions

Is this body compatible with chassis from other brands?

It is designed to work with the Slot.it platform, so direct compatibility is with chassis from that same brand. Adapting to chassis from other brands may require modifications and will depend on the specific chassis model you use.

Does it come painted or does it require painting?

As it is a body kit, the body does not come painted from the factory. It is up to the enthusiast to decide the finish, allowing for customization with the colours and decals they desire. Paints from brands like Tamiya, Vallejo, or Kaleido are common choices among slot preparers.

What tools or materials do I need for assembly?

It will depend on the level of finish you are looking for. For a basic assembly, plastic glue, fine sandpaper, and primer are sufficient. If you want a more elaborate result, an airbrush and a good selection of paints will make a difference.

Is it suitable for club competition?

Yes, as long as your club's regulations allow the use of bodies of this type. Being a quality Slot.it base, the final result on a well-prepared chassis can be perfectly competitive.

What type of track does it work on?

The Slot.it platform is optimised for Sport track, compatible with tracks from brands like Scaleauto. Always check the type of track available on your circuit before planning the setup.
