Tamiya 58360 Manta Ray 2005 Heritage 1/10 Off-Road Kit  [58360]

Heritage Design: Tamiya 58360 Manta Ray 2005

The Tamiya 58360 Manta Ray 2005 is a heritage 1/10 buggy reissued for hobbyists who appreciate a classic build with modern usability. The kit preserves the original silhouette while improving structural elements for everyday use.

Reinforced Bathtub Chassis and Control-Oriented Suspension

The bathtub chassis benefits from honeycomb reinforcement to increase stiffness without adding unnecessary weight. The double wishbone suspension, using upper I-arms and lower H-arms with CVA dampers, gives precise control and predictable feedback on varying surfaces.

Shaft-Driven 4WD for Even Power Delivery

Its shaft-driven 4WD layout incorporates compact gearboxes at the front and rear fixed to the frame, making servicing easier and ensuring even drive distribution to all wheels. This contributes to consistent traction on mixed surfaces.

Stud Spike Tyres for Grip Across Surfaces

Fitted with stud spike tyres, the model offers good traction on both loose and firm ground. The tyre profile is chosen to balance straight-line grip and cornering response for off-road use.

For collectors and active drivers who want a faithful classic that is easier to maintain and run, the Tamiya 58360 Manta Ray 2005 is a strong choice that blends nostalgia with practical improvements.
