maybe really really thick plexi its possible, i think it would be just too fragile. maybe one of those bulletproof lexans but would still be pretty think. HG Made Lexan shock bodies a while ago that were clear, and they were pretty "strong".. but for a chassis i dont know

I would think heat could become a problem.

you could probably used fiberglass at a heat shield somewhat. but ya extended runs would probably just heat up way too much.

I tried making a JRX2 chassis out of 3/16" clear plexi when i was a kid... it was sort of flimsy and certianly heavy but it DID look cool!

I sense another reference to Scotty's clear aluminum equation coming..............

i tried to make a hot-trick style blackfoot/frog chassis out of plexi back in the day. it was heavier than stock and brittle, i think it broke in half. transparent aluminum rules, sombody needs to get on the stick and invent it so we can make some really cool chassis and car parts.

I believe clear titanium is the hot setup...

Only Asa has the clear titanium

Ya but he sold it to me mounted on a shelfer 4-10 Legend last month
