It's a RC10 graphite chassis, but what is it? It has no holes to mount the battery down the center of the chassis. Based on the shape and width it also doesn't appear to be from a TQ10 or a graphite edition car.

Reminds me of a 962... those rear scoops are killing me. I have seen them before.

I found this image while poking around the internets:

Ebay auction with the similar sponsorships (does the signature look similar?):

No idea who made the RC shell, but it is based on the Aston Martin AMR-1 Group C racer from the late 1980's.

I was thinking that it could be from one of those companies too, but I'd love to know which one. Are there any reference pictures out there somewhere? I've got another random graphite chassis here too. At first glance this other chassis is shaped just like the TQ10 chassis, but with closer inspection it seems to have some very subtle differences.

They were all made by ADC, and sold to other companies that re-bagged them under their label. I had pics of mine somewhere.... small differences were common

I think you can still get them new from Daryl according to the Factory Works website:
