Tamiya Aero Manta Ray (AR Chassis)(18703)

Aero Manta Ray is the third body in the REV Series and continues a lineage that runs from the original R/C Manta Ray racing buggy through the Manta Ray Jr. (Racing Mini 4WD) and Manta Ray Mk.II (Mini 4WD PRO) — all sharing the fin-like body sides that give the car its name. Here, that theme is paired with a "swan neck" rear wing mount, a style borrowed from Japanese Super GT Series race cars and a first for the Manta Ray line, along with a small front wing. Large side air intakes and a rear air outlet route airflow through the car to cool the battery and motor, and metallic stickers finish the body.

The low, curved body rides on gold-coloured narrow 5-spoke wheels fitted with lightweight, arched, large-diameter tires suited to tracks with longer straights.
