TAMIYA 18703 Mini 4WD Aero Manta Ray (AR Chassis)

Total length: 155 mm. The photo shows the kit assembled and painted. [An aerodynamic form that swims through the air] This is a plastic model assembly kit of a four-wheel drive racer that delivers high performance and is fun to race. The Aero Manta Ray is the third machine in the Mini 4WD REV series, which has been aerodynamically refined from the body to the chassis. It features a form made up of curves, including the shape of the rear sides of the body that resembles large fins. It is also equipped with a small wing at the front, large air intakes on both sides of the body, and an air outlet at the rear of the body. Not only does this allow for smooth airflow, but it also provides ample cooling for the motor and battery by directing the airflow from the car's movement toward the mechanism. Another notable feature is the curved rear wing stays, known as swan necks, which incorporate the aerodynamic trends of real racing cars and Super GT machines. The marking stickers that tighten the curved body are made of metallic material, and the shining color gives the machine an even more manly finish. [The Manta Ray's Lineage] The Manta Ray Jr., a racer Mini 4WD, was born from the Manta Ray, an electric RC 4WD racing buggy that has gained popularity among RC fans for its high basic performance, and the Mini 4WD Pro Manta Ray Mk.II is its advanced version . Both machines feature distinctive side fins designed to resemble a manta ray swimming through the ocean. The Aero Manta Ray also features swan-neck rear wing stays, front side wings, and a large intake, further enhancing its aerodynamics. [Low Body with Large Tires] The curved body is kept low overall, creating a sense of minimal air resistance. Furthermore, large, narrow barrel tires are mounted on sharp, five-spoke, large, narrow, lightweight wheels (gold). The barrel-shaped barrel tires have a small contact area with the road, and their large diameter allows for a smooth top speed. They are effective on high-speed circuits with long straights.
