Tamiya 18615 Manta Ray Mk.II Retro Mini 4WD Kit  [18615]

Tamiya 18615 Manta Ray Mk.II - Reworked Classic

The Tamiya 18615 Manta Ray Mk.II stands out in the Mini 4WD PRO Series as a blend of classic looks and tuned engineering. This 1/32 scale kit uses the MS chassis with its three piece construction for stiffness plus flex where you need it, and the mid-ship motor layout helps deliver balanced handling for both display models and competitive runs.

Styling and Performance Details

The Mk.II sports a left/right partitioned rear wing and pronounced front fenders that improve airflow and visual impact. The updated N-02 nose helps channel air more efficiently. Power is supplied via a Type 130 Double Shaft motor, paired with a 4:1 gear ratio and 16mm rollers to provide steady torque and reliable traction.

Build Notes and Upgrade Options

Assembly is designed to be straightforward with no glue required, letting builders focus on setup and cosmetic tweaks. The kit accepts a wide range of Tamiya upgrade parts for tuning or personalization. It runs on two R6/AA/UM3 batteries, which are sold separately.
