The Tamiya 58360 Manta Ray 2005 is a historic 1/10 buggy given a thoughtful re-release for hobbyists who like hands-on builds. It retains the character of the original while adding practical improvements to durability and service access.
The bathtub chassis is designed to be light but reinforced with honeycomb ribs for extra strength. Combined with the double wishbone setup and upper I-arms and lower H-arms, the layout helps keep the buggy composed over bumpy tracks when paired with CVA dampers.
A shaft-driven 4WD system with compact front and rear gearboxes mounted to the frame makes for straightforward maintenance. The configuration delivers steady power to all wheels, helping keep traction on mixed surfaces.
The included stud spike tyres are chosen for mixed-surface performance, providing good bite on hard-packed and loose surfaces alike. They help preserve steering feedback on typical off-road courses.
A great pick for modders and restorers who appreciate heritage designs, the Tamiya 58360 Manta Ray 2005 balances classic looks with practical mechanical updates for reliable running.
