Description

The Manta Ray R/C car carved its niche in 1990 by effortlessly catering to both novice and seasoned hobbyists. Its iconic Manta Ray-inspired body, crafted from lightweight yet durable polycarbonate, offered a sleek and appealing aesthetic. This versatile car excelled on various terrains thanks to its downforce-generating rear wing, all-terrain spike tyres mounted on dish wheels, and exceptional handling. Ensuring optimal balance, the honeycomb bathtub frame housed all radio components, including the battery and R/C mechanisms, in its central cavity. This robust chassis was further complemented by a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and CVA oil dampers for unwavering stability off-road. The 4WD drivetrain boasted sealed gearboxes with internal differential gears for smooth cornering, while the quick-access hatch on the gearbox facilitated effortless maintenance. This combination of thoughtful design and robust engineering solidified the Manta Ray's reputation as a timeless R/C icon.
