TAMIYA MOBILE 18703 AERO MANTA RAY 06450

Aerodynamic Excellence

This high performance plastic Mini 4WD assembly kit is the third model
launched in the aerodynamically-superior Mini 4WD REV Series, the Aero
Manta Ray.
The model's unique flowing form owes much to the fin-like shapes on both
of the rear sides, and it features a small front wing.
Large side air intakes and an air outlet on the rear of course lead to
excellent aerodynamics, but here is the clever part:
as the air flows through, it is also used to cool easy-to-overheat parts
such as the battery and motor.
The aerodynamic performance is further bolstered by the rear wing's
"swan neck" design, in common use on many Japanese Super GT Series
machines.
The final touch of class is provided by metallic stickers included in
the kit.











The Aero Manta Ray: a new evolution of a rich history

The Manta Ray has a rich history, including the popular 4WD R/C racing
buggy and the Manta Ray Jr. (Racing Mini 4WD)
and Manta Ray Mk. II (Mini 4WD PRO) models it spawned.
A common theme among all the models are the fin-like body sides inspired
by the form of the manta ray which swims the seas.
The Aero Manta Ray's "swan neck" is the first example of such a rear
wing in the Manta Ray series, as are the large air intakes and superior
aerodynamics.
It truly is a new evolution for the Manta Ray series.
