The Tamiya 18053 kit fits the iconic Manta Ray Jr body to the VS chassis, offering a compact, lightweight build that suits both display collectors and those who run casual races. The VS design aims to provide nimble handling while retaining a stable platform for upgrades.
The aerodynamic Manta Ray Jr shell reduces drag and gives a polished look for display cabinets. Detailed graphics and sharp panel lines enhance its collector appeal. The included motor provides steady power, and many users opt to upgrade it for improved track performance.
The VS chassis is well regarded for its compatibility with aftermarket parts, allowing a wide variety of tuning options. Builders can experiment with gears, rollers and motors to tailor the car to different track conditions.
While the Manta Ray Jr is capable of light racing, its detailed finish makes it particularly attractive for presentation. It is a good choice for those who want a model that looks great on a shelf and still performs when taken to the track.
