Tamiya 57708 Super Manta Ray as a Durable 1/10 Buggy

The Tamiya 57708 Super Manta Ray has earned a solid reputation among RC drivers for reliability and simplicity. This 1/10 scale model pairs a robust 4WD shaft drive with a user-friendly package ideal for outdoor tracks.

Details on the DF-01 Chassis

The DF-01 platform offers a lightweight monocoque layout that keeps the centre of gravity sensible and provides sturdy impact resistance. Its lateral motor placement helps maintain balanced power delivery during tight manoeuvres.

Ready Body and Traction Setup

A pre-painted polycarbonate body in gun metallic provides a tidy, resilient shell straight from the box. The spiked tyres are chosen to deliver dependable grip on dirt and gravel surfaces, helping retain control in loose conditions.

Options for Performance Tuning

Although easy to run out of the box, the Super Manta Ray accepts a range of upgrades. Common enhancements include replacing the stock 3-step controller with a Tamiya CPR, fitting stronger motors, and installing improved dampers and bearings.

The Tamiya 57708 Super Manta Ray is suitable for hobbyists who prefer an RTR entry point with plenty of room to refine handling and speed through upgrades and setup changes.
