Manta Ray Jr. Zero Chassis: Display and Race Ready

The Tamiya 18035 Manta Ray Jr. pairs a classic streamlined body with the Zero chassis in a compact 1/32 format. This kit appeals to both club racers and modellers who want a tidy, upgradeable car for track or shelf.

Design Traits and Chassis Compatibility

The Manta Ray Jr. bodywork reduces drag and lends itself to steady runs on straights. The Zero chassis accepts many standard Mini 4WD parts, so you can try different motors, wheel sets and rollers to suit track conditions.

Model Finishing and Presentation Tips

Finish the body with primer and multiple thin paint coats for the best result, then add decals to bring out the details. Whether you aim for a race livery or a polished display model, the kit provides good scope for personal touches.

Two standard AA batteries power the car. For competitive use choose good quality alkalines or rechargeable high discharge AA packs for consistent output.
Lightweight wheels can help accelerate quicker but may trade off top speed and traction. Experiment with tyre compounds and wheel sizes to match your track layout.
Basic modelling tools such as cutters, files and fine screwdrivers are sufficient. A modelling knife and sprue cleaner will speed up prep and produce cleaner paint results.
Regularly clean gears and bearings, check for loose screws and replace worn tyres or rollers. Routine maintenance keeps handling predictable and extends component life.
