There is a tamiya logo on the front bulkhead area.. but other than that it's too ghetto for me. Im sure someone else will get it though

Looks like a tamiya hornet with a few different parts.

Actually it's not a tamiya. It's a tamiya knock off from the late 80's early 90's. There were a number of them back then. The world engines road runner and rock buster were the most common. They were actually pretty well built and rather rare. A couple of others were cyclone and cyclone 2.

From what's left of body it appears you have a rock bUster.

Parts are still available on eBay. I bought a complete unbuilt car about 2 yrs ago for $50 so parts aren't expensive. The other thing is the grasshopper and hornet parts all fit so no worries.

I've found a couple of complete cars over the years along with a few parts cars. At one point I had all four knock offs mentioned but now I have only the rock buster and a cyclone.
