Description

The Chappie XL custom slot car has a body obviously inspired by the Lancer model, as some of its features are nearly identical. Gordon Brimhall almost certainly used a Lancer body as a basic pattern. The chassis is the usual “Gator” ISO-fulcrum design pivoted from the rear axle, with two aluminum outriggers holding the body with two short (too short!) clips. The wheels are by Riggen, the crown gear and guide by Cox. The body paint is splendid and so typical of the wonderful vacuum formed bodies of the late 1960’s. These cars handled quite well and were fast, thanks to their Mabuchi FT26 motor.
