[Run off-road as if swimming in the ocean]
This is a reproduction of the Manta Ray�� an assembly kit for an electric radio-controlled 4WD buggy that was released in 1990 and was popular as an entry-level model and a base model for veterans. The style�� which is based on the manta ray�� a manta ray that swims gracefully through the ocean and makes big jumps in the sea�� is still very attractive today.
The body�� which has a protruding body reminiscent of a large fin�� is made of lightweight�� shock-resistant polycarbonate. The large rear wing�� which stabilizes the posture during jumps�� is also made of polycarbonate. In addition�� the wheels are fully dished to prevent mud from getting on them�� and the tires are spiked for good grip both on and off road.
In addition�� you can install optional parts sold separately to further improve the performance�� making it a fun car to drive off-road.

[Reliable shaft 4WD chassis supports tough driving]
The bathtub-type frame has a distinctive honeycomb pattern rib on the bottom�� giving it high rigidity�� and the RC mechanism and battery are mounted flat to lower the center of gravity. The suspension is a double wishbone 4-wheel independent type equipped with CVA oil damper short for excellent ground contact. The lower arm is a lightweight�� high-strength hollow arm�� and its smooth shape makes it less likely to get mud on it.
The 4WD system is a reliable shaft drive. The compact front and rear sealed gearboxes have built-in differential gears for smooth cornering. In addition�� the gearbox has an inspection hatch�� so you can check the gears while the car is in it�� and all the gears can be replaced�� making it easy to maintain. In addition�� the 3-piece steering system provides a sharp steering feel. The rod end has a ball adjuster�� making toe-in adjustment easy.
