Tamiya 18053 - Manta Ray JR VS Chassis Edition

The Tamiya 18053 brings the Manta Ray Jr together with the VS chassis to create a compact Mini 4WD that balances visual appeal and basic track performance. The VS chassis is engineered to keep the car light and responsive while allowing room for common upgrades.

Aero and Finish

The Manta Ray Jr body is sculpted to cut through air and display well on the shelf, with precise decal placement and crisp details. The standard motor is reliable for hobby runs, though competitive users often choose higher performance motors for race days.

Chassis Options

The VS platform accepts a wide variety of aftermarket parts and tuning components, making it a flexible choice for builders who want to refine handling, improve traction or increase speed.

Performance and Presentation

This kit suits both collectors who prioritise appearance and hobbyists who want a runnable Mini 4WD. Its combination of style and tuning potential makes it versatile for display or light racing use.

The model requires two R6/AA/UM3 batteries to run; these are not supplied with the kit and should be purchased separately.
Yes, the VS chassis can accommodate a range of aftermarket motors. Choose a motor that matches the gearing and track demands to avoid excessive strain on components.
Start with low friction rollers and improved tyres to stabilise handling, then consider motor or gear upgrades for more speed as you fine tune setup.
After running, wipe down the body, clear dust from gears and check screws and bearings. Routine checks extend component life and preserve performance.
