Since its 1990 debut the Tamiya Manta Ray 47367-60A has kept a following among model builders who like a classic silhouette and hands-on tuning. The durable polycarbonate shell replicates the manta ray aesthetic while staying light enough for agile handling.
The distinctive body profile and rear spoiler contribute to straight-line composure. Paired with spike tread tyres on dish wheels, this setup offers reliable bite on loose soil, grass and mixed terrain typical of club practice areas.
Designed around a honeycomb bathtub chassis, the Manta Ray concentrates mass centrally for predictable handling. The four-wheel double wishbone suspension with CVA oil shocks smooths rough surfaces, and the sealed gearbox design keeps lubrication in and dirt out.
Builders can adapt the platform with stronger servos, alternative gear ratios or upgraded suspension parts. The open layout makes it simple to swap components and refine balance for faster lap times or more durable bashing setups.
The Tamiya Manta Ray 47367-60A is a practical classic, ideal for builders who enjoy hands-on setup work and want a solid base for upgrades and tuning.
