Can someone please help identify this? No brands anywhere on it.
This is what happens when people give you their junk. After assembly, I am missing rear shock tower and needing a spur gear. I would rather not have to fab one.

I have no clue what it is but I don't see junk, I see score... :D
 
Try frankensteining it, it looks like a pretty good chassis to use.
 
Looks to be an older style 2wd stadium truck frame, it definately was made to use nicd's by the looks of the bottom part of the chassis.

Dude! You have yourself a Schumacher Fireblade Evo or some version of it

Rear shock tower (I think)

EDIT:
After more digging, you seem to have a Fireblade 2000, so that shock tower may not be it. I found this video...

The chassis openings in that look more like yours.

Another Fireblade 2000

Also found the parts for the body
Chassis tub
Body

If you search ebay for "Schumacher shock" you will find all kinds of shock mounts. But I am unsure if any of them will work.

Or, I could be way off 🤪

I see you only have one upper chassis support (the x-brace). You need 3 more. Do you have those? If not, that could easily be a 3d printed part. I could possibly help with that, but would need some really good pics with dimensions. If you want to mail the part to me I could reverse engineer it exactly and make you a complete set.

That’s the same car, there are no differences. How did you even manage to figure that out?

Like Kung Fu Panda, I am pure awesomeness. You dare not look at me for fear the awesomeness will cause you to fall over dead 😜

But actually, i just found this cool app last night. It's called Google Lens. It looks at photos and finds matches. Entering the photo of the chassis brought up the Fireblade Evo 2 first thing. Credit to the OP for taking the photo of his chassis from the perfect angle to find the match.

But noticing some differences in the chassis, I did some searching for just Fireblade and found pics of the 2000. That's when I did some ebay searches and found the body stuff, but sadly, no spur gear. Except for this slipper conversion set, which I found from the first link that I posted for the Fireblade Evo 2, which might just work.

You might try contacting Schumacher and see if they can help you further

I just found one wheel and tire in my junk box which had a brand. This is a Schumacher Fireblade 2000. Found a shock tower on thirteenracing. The spur gear it had was trash. That will be the tricky part to find.
Regardless, this is a great find. Back in the day this was top of the line.
Thank you and everyone else for taking a look.
I will make a new thread when I get it road ready.

I would contact Schumacher and see if they can help with sourcing a spur. They may have a better idea of what else may fit. And when you find one, order 10 of them 😉

Oh wait. Is it called a "whisper gear? If so, Schumaker has them in stock, along with a bunch of other parts for it. This whole page, and more after this page is all Fireblade stuff.

That's the gear! Thank you all for saving me hours sorting through the web. I bought a couple of each of them that looked correct. Some didn't show the crosspin mount so didn't buy them. I don't need anymore oops parts lol!

Very cool. Well please make sure you share the rest of the build progress. That is going to be an epic car!
