I really like the 60s sports cars, particularly some of the American stuff for some reason. I have 8 Cheetahs, 3 GT-40s, a few Chaparral 2Ds, some Cobras, etc. I'm not a huge fan of the other Chappys but I really like the 2D, especially the Sebring. A 2D from Slot It (or NSR) would really be a nice match to the new Slot It GT-40.

Anybody else think so?

Mick, why do you think the 2D would not be popular?

I'm going to check tonight to see if the Slot It GT-40 chassis will fit under a Strombecker 2D shell. If it does, next step will be to see if the GT-40 chassis is available separately. I already know an HRS chassis is too wide.

Thanks for the reply Maurizio. I guess I'll need to make my own Slot It 2D.

This was one of the first re-paints I did (some time ago), but I did a new chassis for it a few days ago. Still working on the tuning, going to be a bit tricky to get it running with the Slot It GTR-40. They make a nice couple:

Here's the chassis:

Don't laugh too much at the chassis, it works better than it would appear to. The chassis without the body was only 2/10s sec off the GT-40. I did a fair bit of fooling with weight to get the GT-40 to run with the NSRs (keep in mind the GT-40 is half the price of an NSR). I'm fairly sure I can get the Chappy close.

Just thought y'all might like to see some video of a Slot It GT40 and my Chappy 2D with homebuilt chassis racing neck and neck:



Just click on the photo. I'm surprised at how well the PCB chassis works. They're doing approximately 6.5 second laptimes, very good times for my track.
