Exploder (Scorchers)

==Description==
The Exploder is a Scorchers model based on a concept racing panel van of some sort; this was one of two castings in 1981 which were based on fictitious vehicles. The casting was used twice and then discontinued in around 1982 with the rest of the Scorchers line; while some were repurposed into the mainline and some as Shift Kickers vehicles, this is one of the various castings which never saw the light of day again.
This casting is not to be confused with the Xploder introduced in the 1973 mainline or the X-Ploder introduced in the 1999 mainline, despite having a similar name. The name "Exploder" would be used for a future release of the Crash Patrol in the Crack-Ups series.
