Chaparral 2E Chassis

The Chaparral 2E EVO6 chassis in kit: Slot.it precision for a Can-Am legend

The reference SICS16T-60 is the official Slot.it chassis for the Chaparral 2E in its EVO6 version, supplied in kit format. A component designed both to replace the mechanical platform of an existing model and to start a build from scratch, taking advantage of all the engineering that Slot.it applies to this iconic Can-Am body.

Chassis features and function

Slot.it develops its EVO chassis with a clear philosophy: maximum rigidity where needed and controlled flexibility where the car must work over bumps and irregularities on the track. The kit format means that the chassis is delivered unassembled or with the main elements separated, allowing the builder to decide on the configuration of components that best suits their track and driving style.

• Specific chassis for the Slot.it Chaparral 2E body.
• EVO6 version, incorporating the geometry and tolerance evolutions characteristic of this generation of Slot.it chassis.
• Supplied in kit: ideal for preparation, customization, or replacement of damaged parts.
• Compatible with the Slot.it spare parts ecosystem: axles, crown gears, pinions, mounts, and guides from the brand.
• Designed for Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it).

Applications and compatibilities

This chassis is expressly designed for the Slot.it Chaparral 2E body. If you are replacing a damaged chassis after a track accident, or if you are starting from a loose body to build a custom model, this reference is the right starting point.

As it belongs to the EVO6 range, it accepts the motors and mechanical subassemblies that Slot.it has been perfecting in recent years. The choice of motor, gear ratio, and type of guide you mount on it will depend on your preferences and the type of track where you compete or practice.

Assembly and preparation

The kit format requires some skill in assembly, but Slot.it pays maximum attention to factory adjustments: the tolerances between parts are designed to ensure that the final result is clean and precise without the need for aggressive modifications. Nevertheless, it is advisable to:

1. Check that all axles turn freely before closing the chassis.
2. Verify the clearance of the crown gear relative to the chosen motor pinion.
3. Adjust the guide height to ensure good contact with the braids at all times.
4. Check that the tyres do not rub against the body once the assembly is complete.

Ideal for…

This chassis is particularly interesting for those who already have experience with slot preparation and want to go beyond the out-of-the-box car. It is also the most straightforward solution when the original chassis has suffered an impact and the body remains in perfect condition: instead of replacing the entire car, it is sufficient to replace the mechanical base.

Frequently asked questions

Is this chassis compatible with other Slot.it bodies?

Not necessarily. The SICS16T-60 chassis is specifically designed for the Slot.it Chaparral 2E body. Although the EVO6 platform shares philosophy with other chassis from the brand, the anchor geometry and wheelbase are adjusted to this specific body.

Does it include motor, wheels, or guide?

The product corresponds exclusively to the chassis in kit. Additional components (motor, tyres, guide, braids, etc.) must be purchased separately according to the desired configuration.

What type of track is it designed for?

The Slot.it chassis is optimised for Sport track, compatible with Scaleauto and Slot.it tracks. With the appropriate guide, it can be adapted to other systems, but its native design is oriented towards Sport track.

What level of skill is needed to assemble it?

Basic experience in slot preparation is recommended. It is not a product for absolute beginners, but it does not require advanced preparation knowledge either. With patience and the Slot.it instructions, assembly is perfectly manageable.

Can I use any Slot.it motor with this chassis?

It depends on the mount and the motor configuration you choose. Check the specific compatibility in the Slot.it catalogue to ensure that the chosen motor fits correctly in the position and type of motorisation intended by this chassis.
