It's a LazerLite Shadow with a weird chassis. Looks like they had a quick change battery setup on it at one time

I have one too, but it's the chain drive version :wink:
No, really!

Looks more like a replacement chassis. The fiberglass reminds me of the PC board stuff you can get at Radio Shack.

Edit: Looks like the top deck member tamiya used on this car here: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=33344#p360686
