Has a couple 8-32 low profile nuts and a 4-40 tapped hole with a flat head screw. Material is aluminum.

Any ideas?

Maybe a damper post for a 10l/12l? Cheetah Racing I know made one with nuts to adjust spring tension and I think one or tow other companies did as well.

I think You´re right - Many thanks

To me it seemed like it had a kickup, so it threw me of a bit. I was only looking at Offroad chassis´

In the picture there seems to be shade at one side of the chassis (and only at the front), so it might be that this one took a serious frontal impact and is actually broken (although they usually break at the screws holding the front bumper...). Either that, or it sat in the sun for a long time and is discolored...
