Classic Reissue: Tamiya 57911 Manta Ray Returns

The Tamiya 57911 Manta Ray sits on the well-known DF-01 platform and remains a favourite for fans of retro RC buggies. Its factory-built 4WD layout and durable components make it easy to drive from first run to full setup. The pre-painted body keeps the classic lines while letting you focus on driving and setup.

Handling and Build Quality

The DF-01 chassis provides a predictable balance and proven durability, which helps when you tackle loose dirt or parkland grass. Four-wheel drive gives consistent traction and the suspension soaks up bumps to keep handling stable. The brushed motor is simple to maintain and suitable for casual club racing.

Accessible Retro Performance

As an RTR model, the Manta Ray arrives ready to run with trimmed and painted bodywork, reducing setup time. Compared to more elaborate kits, this Tamiya kit-style experience makes it easier to enjoy vintage aesthetics without complex assembly. It is a good pick for collectors and newcomers who want a straightforward off-road ride.

The Tamiya 57911 Manta Ray mixes period-correct design with dependable mechanicals, making it a solid choice for casual off-road running and nostalgic collectors.
