Top pic is a NCC group 20 car with a Champion motor. I would say it is a Champion chassis too, but I think the Champion chassis were stamped Champion?

This is a Champion chassis. Champion provided the original NCC 20 chassis. I have one I got in '69 or '70 that handled like a brick. Mike Morrissey later wrote a tuning article in Car Model, but I never applied it. Someday it'll be a restoration project.

Aoyagi Metals Industry Company (Aoyagi Kinzoku Kōgyō Yūgen-gaisha), AYK  did deliver lots of OEM parts for slot cars like the Champion chassises.

 

Champion chassis? - Pro Racing Cars & Replicas - Slotblog  #21 for instance.

The #5 Parma BrassKar usually had a Group 12 motor in it. -- many people (like me) added a motor mount.  Yes, #1 is Champion -- there also is a 1969 version (NCC 20 69) and a plain version.  Made for the short-lived NCC racing program.

some of those bad solder jobs look like a cross between a Jerry Brady and Phil Ruben chassis ruff with a little Howie Ursaner in the oven...

This is what I meant when I said in post 1 that Champions were stamped Champion. Notice the oval hole compared to the bigger hole just ahead of the motor box.

 

This one is on eBay now.
