Manta Ray Jr. Zero Chassis: Mini 4WD Icon

The Tamiya 18035 Manta Ray Jr. is a well loved entry in the Mini 4WD lineup, featuring a streamlined shell paired with the adaptable Zero chassis. At 1/32 scale this kit gives both racers and display fans a neat canvas for tuning, upgrades, and paintwork while keeping a good balance between weight and stability.

Chassis and Aerodynamics

The body shape of the Manta Ray Jr. is designed to cut drag and keep momentum on straights. The Zero chassis accepts a wide range of upgrade parts so you can adjust gear ratios, switch wheels, or swap motors to match your local track or driving style, making it useful for newcomers and experienced builders.

Build Options and Display Appeal

Beyond the track, the Manta Ray Jr. cleans up nicely as a display model thanks to detailed bodywork and straightforward painting zones. Hobbyists often personalise the shell, add decals, and tweak finishing touches to create a standout shelf piece or a tuned race car.

The kit runs on two AA batteries for power. Batteries are not supplied with the kit, so plan to buy them separately.
Yes, the Zero chassis accepts common Mini 4WD upgrades such as higher torque motors, lower profile tyres and reinforced rollers to improve race performance.
Assembly is straightforward with basic modelling tools and glue; beginners should allow a couple of hours to build and paint carefully. Instructions guide the steps clearly for first time builders.
Adjusting roller placement, tyre compound and slight weight redistribution are typical upgrades to improve cornering. Small changes can have a big effect, so test incrementally at the track.
