Looks like a home-made one using motor pod, uprights, wheels from a Tamiya CS & SRB servo saver, chassis & bumper chopped from perspex (Or bits of fridge) looking at the way it's broken

It does have sort of a "salad drawer" look about it

Its a clear plastic chassis. I don't remember any chassis's that were clear. You can see the bumper through the chassis.

I'd say the clear plastic will be acrylic/perspex/polystyrene as lots of people go for the stuff cos it's easy to work with, cheap & widely available. Downside is it's impact resistance is really poor & it splits, cracks & shatters.
As far as I know, Tamiya 1/12 cars all had either GRP or aluminium chassis plates, so it's definately a dweeb-built

The only carI know wich has a clear chassis in stock version, is the 1/28th micro xpress. It is made all in lexan.

As an original Scorcher shell with the wider/rounder fenders that would be worth saving - I'm not saying it's an easy fix as it would mean a lot of work, but it looks like the broken bits are still there, the holes in the fenders would be quite straightforward, it's a shame the sills have been cut but at least they're essentially flat ...
... the start price (+ the shipping within Australia) equates to 20 GBP - even with the "glass", Tamiya prices climbing ever higher, and assuming that genuinely vintage Scorcher parts are rarer than in Europe, that seems seems optimistic... |
