Paying tribute to the original 1990 release, the Tamiya 47367 Manta Ray (2018) brings a faithful 1/10 scale electric buggy back into modern garages. It combines traditional looks with practical engineering that appeals to builders who enjoy both display projects and trail running.
The body is crafted from tough polycarbonate, retaining the low-slung, aerodynamic lines that make the Manta Ray distinctive. A pronounced rear wing and spike-style all-terrain tyres on dish rims help deliver grip and downforce where it counts.
On the inside the honeycomb bathtub chassis organises the electronics and battery to keep weight central and predictable. The double wishbone suspension teamed with CVA oil dampers provides controlled movement over rough ground for steadier laps.
Sealed gearboxes protect differential units from grit while the easy-access hatch speeds up battery swaps and servicing. The kit layout focuses on long-term reliability and simple upkeep for regular use.
Tamiya 47367 Manta Ray (2018) is a solid pick for modelers who value a period-correct build with sensible service access and a chassis suited to varied off-road conditions.
