Off-road Vehicles Tamiya Manta Ray 1/10th 4WD buggy avril 4, 2024 by Chris Laisser un commentaire Tamiya have announced the re-release of their Manta Ray 1/10th 4WD buggy in a similar edition to the one already re-released in 2018. The Manta Ray was released in 1990 and became popular as an entry-level model and also as a base vehicle for experienced racers. The style, based on the manta ray, is still very attractive today. The chassis features a honeycomb design on the bottom not only to ensure high rigidity but also for mechanical and electronic gear, including the battery, to be mounted flat to lower the center of gravity. The suspension is an independent 4-wheel double-wishbone design, equipped with short CVA oil shocks for excellent grip. The lower arm uses a hollow design, making it lightweight and strong, and its smooth shape makes it difficult to get mud and debris. The 4WD shaft drive is a highly reliable and works with differential gears housed in compact front and rear sealed gearboxes. In addition, the gearbox has an inspection hatch that allows you to check the gears while in the vehicle, as well as replace all gears, making it highly maintainable. Shopping!
