Tamiya 57708 Super Manta Ray - Classic 1/10 4WD

The Tamiya 57708 Super Manta Ray remains a go-to 1/10 scale buggy for many RC fans, offering a balance of durability and straightforward mechanics. Its 4WD shaft drive helps maintain traction across a variety of off-road surfaces.

Ingenious DF-01 Platform

The DF-01 chassis features a lightweight monocoque design that improves impact resistance while keeping the vehicle agile. The laterally mounted motor contributes to stable power transfer and consistent handling.

Prefinished Body and Off-Road Grip

A factory painted polycarbonate shell in gun metallic gives the buggy a ready-to-run appearance and decent protection from light impacts. The spiked tyres provide strong grip on dirt and gravel, suited to club circuits and practice areas.

Tuning Routes for Better Handling

While the Super Manta Ray is enjoyable straight from the box, its design makes tuning accessible. Upgrading to a Tamiya CPR controller, fitting higher output motors, or adding ball bearings are common steps to sharpen performance.
