This re-release of the Manta Ray is certainly news to celebrate for fans of Tamiya's vintage 4WD buggy models! The body - inspired by the water stingray of the natural world - is still a classic nearly 30 years after its original release in 1990; The body and large rear spoiler are molded from lightweight and durable polycarbonate. Sleek solid rim wheels are paired with knobby tires for exceptional grip on or off-road. For those looking for even higher performance, why not pair our dedicated Hop-Up Option coin set?
The 4WD chassis in this kit is based around a tub frame with a honeycomb rib pattern for excellent rigidity, and which also facilitates a low center of gravity thanks to a low mounting position for the battery. Its 4-wheel double-wishbone independent suspension uses CVA oil shocks, while the hollow lower arms are lightweight and durable, and feature a smooth design to prevent dirt from sticking to them. The differentials are contained in sealed gearboxes, each with a quick-access maintenance hatch. The 3-piece tie rod provides precise response and the linkages make it easy to change the toe angle.
