Tamiya presents this pre-assembled 1/10 Scale Remote Control Buggy. The Super Manta Ray's reliable 4WD-shaft drive, 4-wheel double wishbone suspension, and spiked tires make for a machine capable of taking on the hardest of off-road courses. The remote control system comes pre-installed and pre-adjusted with a wheel and trigger-type transmitter. Batteries and charger available separately. (Batteries and charger may be included in some countries. Please contact your regional Tamiya agent for details.) All you have to do is open the box and grab the transmitter- now you're ready for some serious R/C action!
The polycarbonate body comes pre-painted The shock-resistant, lightweight polycarbonate body comes pre-painted in gun metallic with stickers already attached. Lettering on white dish wheels is also pre-printed.
Monocoque Type New DF-01 Chassis Newly designed ABS monocoque frame is lightweight and shock-resistant. The Super Manta Ray employs a laterally installed motor that effectively transmits power via its 4WD mid-ship shaft drive.
Car Body Design Maximizes Resistance to Debris A polycarbonate upper-cover affixed to the monocoque type frame prevents small rocks from getting lodged in the internal parts. Removal of inspection cover allows for easy maintenance of crystal and speed controller.
Included Parts Wheel and trigger-type Adspec GP transmitter specially designed for remote control operation. Batteries and charger available separately. (Batteries and charger may be included in some countries. Please contact your regional Tamiya agent for details.) Transmitter requires eight R6/AA/UM3 batteries.
Optional Parts Available for Increased Efficiency The Expert Built Super Manta Ray is constructed in the same fashion as an R/C assembly kit. Parts may be disassembled and re-assembled. The kit is fitted with a standard 3-step speed controller that can be replaced with the Tamiya CPR unit. High-power motor, ball bearings, and wheel dampers may be added to enhance performance. Up to 6 separate machines can run simultaneously provided that different transmitter crystals are used.
