Rc Manta Ray Kit
-
Description
The Manta Ray has been the ancestor of a very successful line of 4x4 buggies within Tamiya"s model spectrum. It even is the grandfather of the Hummer and XB Hummer, which share the same chassis tub and main gearing. It"s production lasted over ten years and has been continued with the introduction of the XB Super Manta Ray.
The Manta Ray appeared to be also the forefather of the TA01/TA02 Touring and Rally Car Series. In one of the R/C-Handbooks of 1991 it appeared alone, in the other together with the Toyota Celica GT Four Rally (#58096). All in all it grew to a large family with many different members, but the family-likeness was always obvious.
