Tamiya 57708 Super Manta Ray Racing Roots

The Tamiya 57708 Super Manta Ray brings classic buggy DNA into a ready-to-run 1/10 package. Its 4WD shaft drive and solid construction make it a dependable choice for regular off-road laps.

Monocoque Strength of the DF-01 Platform

The DF-01 chassis provides a lightweight but stiff monocoque structure that resists flex under load. The laterally mounted motor layout contributes to predictable handling during hard cornering.

Factory Finish and Grip

A gun metallic prepainted polycarbonate body reduces setup time while offering toughness against minor knocks. Spiked tyres deliver consistent traction on loose and uneven surfaces, keeping the buggy planted.

Performance Modifications and Upgrades

While ready to run, the Super Manta Ray accepts a variety of upgrades. Common changes include replacing the stock 3-step speed controller with a Tamiya CPR, installing higher output motors, and fitting ball bearings and improved dampers.

The Tamiya 57708 Super Manta Ray fits hobbyists who want an out-of-the-box driving experience with clear upgrade paths for those aiming to increase speed and handling precision.

Spiked or knobbed tyres with a softer compound typically improve traction on loose surfaces; experiment with tyre inserts for extra grip or responsiveness.
Start with basic shock tuning and tyre choice, then adjust ride height and camber incrementally to find a balance between stability and steering response.
Reinforcing wear parts like drive shafts, fitting metal bearings where possible, and checking fasteners regularly will extend the life of the buggy under frequent running.
The kit includes the Adspec GP transmitter and the standard 3-step mechanical speed controller, but you will need a compatible 7.2V battery and eight AA cells for the transmitter.
