Revived Classic: Tamiya 58360 Manta Ray 2005

The Tamiya 58360 Manta Ray 2005 brings a celebrated RC design back to the hobby with a mix of vintage looks and useful modern updates. This 1/10 scale kit appeals to collectors and new builders who want a sturdy, serviceable chassis for rough-track running.

Sturdy Bathtub Chassis and Tuned Suspension

Its bathtub-style chassis is engineered to be lightweight yet strengthened by honeycomb ribs for improved durability. The double wishbone arrangement with upper I-arms and lower H-arms works with CVA dampers to give reliable handling and controlled rebound over rough terrain.

Balanced Shaft-Driven 4WD Powertrain

The shaft-driven 4WD transmission uses compact front and rear gearboxes mounted directly to the frame, which simplifies maintenance and keeps power distribution consistent. This layout helps the buggy maintain traction under varying throttle loads.

Stud Spike Tires for Mixed Conditions

Supplied stud spike tires deliver solid grip on a range of surfaces, from loose gravel to packed dirt. The tread pattern is aimed at providing traction and predictable steering on typical off-road courses.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Drivetrain: 4WD
  • Chassis Type: Bathtub-style with honeycomb ribs
  • Suspension: Double wishbone with CVA dampers
  • Tires: Front/rear stud spike

Ideal for hobbyists who enjoy both period-correct styling and practical upgrades, the Tamiya 58360 Manta Ray 2005 is a hands-on build that handles everyday off-road running with confidence.

The instructions are clear and the layout is modular, so beginners can complete the build with basic tools and a little patience.
A mid-power brushed motor suits the original gearing; switching to brushless will need gearing changes and possibly a heatsink for the ESC.
Yes, the suspension travel and stud spike tires make it capable on grass and rough trails, though very soft mud will reduce traction.
