Guys, I need help identifying this chassis, I just aquired it, I thought graphite, but it has no markings and isnt the right shape, Horizon TQ?, still not the right shape....what is this thing? it came in a parts lot with an Edinger Rc10 I just purchased.

I only know a little about vintage stuff, but that chassis has the same pattern as my Composite Craft chassis for my TRX1. I bet it was made by Composite Craft. :)

I saw that on ebay. The thing is, it's probably not composite craft, because of the way the ends are finished(or not, actually). CC was usually a pretty clean rounded edge, and didn't have as much 'lead' on the ends of the chassis.

there were about 6 manufacturers at the time making graphite chassis for the RC10, probably more. True, they probably only came from a few sources. Depending on how clean those holes are, you might even be looking at a hand made one.

Kind of looks like a wood core chassis ( or dirty )

I havent received it yet, so I cant say, but hopefully not a wood core, I would say dirty judging from how nasty dirty the other parts are in the pictures.

I'm not sure what to do with it, build it up? save it, sell it???
I'm curious as to how much it weighs and how rigid it is. Looks heavy to me.

If its a wood core I know someone that might be interested if you decide not to keep it

the wide weave and the sharp corners are very familiar
if my dementia relapses it may come to me

Yes, please let me know...I may still just build it up with black parts, make a runner out of it.

I have been told it may be a Trinity chassis..?

BITD Composite Craft made chassis for Trinity/ADC/Parma/Duratrax and I think one more- it kinda looks like a Bullett to me, but it's hard to tell-

Definitely not Bullet. Incidentally Composite Craft made all of Bullet's graphite products.
