Track-ready Tamiya 18703 JR Aero Manta Ray AR Chassis 1/32 Mini 4WD Kit  [18703]

Design focus and racing capability

The Tamiya 18703 JR Aero Manta Ray brings race car styling to a Mini 4WD package, built on the AR chassis to help with airflow and handling. It is a versatile kit suited to hobbyists who like to tune and race.

Low drag coupe styling

The Aero Manta Ray's silver bodywork is modelled to minimise drag and present a compact, race-oriented profile. It helps maintain momentum down straights and keeps the car composed through bends.

AR chassis performance features

The AR chassis is moulded from tough ABS and engineered to support airflow and stability. It provides a good level of resilience for regular club racing while allowing room for setup adjustments.

Performance upgrades and tuning advice

Consider upgrading the Type 130 motor or testing alternate gear ratios depending on track type. The kit includes larger diameter tyres and lightweight wheels which form a good starting point for personalised tuning.

Assembly notes and usability

The set comes with a redesigned sticker sheet and needs two AA batteries, not included. Snap-fit construction keeps the build simple while the platform remains compatible with most Mini 4WD circuits.

The Tamiya 18703 JR Aero Manta Ray combines attractive styling with a tuneable AR chassis, making it a reliable pick for racers who enjoy setup work and club competition.
