My SUPER MANTA RAY !!!!!!!!!!

Post by Mad Racer »

We are starting a new controlled class at our vintage bash at Boondal, (Bisbane)

Any Manta ray chassis buggy. Has to be TUB. Standard shocks and towers, Controlled tires/Wheels.

EZ Run 9t combo. 16t pinion. Alloy motor mount. Up graded center shaft. Any Body shell you wish.

Diffs are free. Is a tough chassis and cheap with minamal mods allowed . We have 5 to 6 so far.

I had a Top Force shell but decided to buy a Super Ray shell.

Hi Mr ED.

The wheels are just cheap ones from my mate who brings them in. I went to dip them in my acetone bath so i can put foam liners in and the rims started to melt. Just after this pic.

I have had some lessons from my partner how to pick a good back ground, crop, edit, past, photo bucket. LOL.

I have bought a new camera but my phone is easy to use which is where this pic comes from.

Well your partner is a good teacher and you're a good student ;)

I like those wheels : seem to have a nice offset comparable to the older kyosho wheels. They're 2.2"?

I like it, in fact so much that I think I'm going to build a Jamie Booth TRF Manta Ray replica.

Oh Mr ED.

My partner and i are just laughing so loud you should be able to here us from your country.

It's only taking me 6 months to learn it and lots of hissy fits from me.

Yes are 2.2 and off sets are really good.

That XB shell cost me $66 posted which is very expensive when the whole RTR ray sold for $160.

So decided not to run that XB shell in the manta cup. Just finished a red one.

Thanks Gazza. Are you building one????

What do you think.

Crikey, that's expensive, matey... local shop down here was selling painted XB bodies for $7 with no decals, $9 or $10 with decals.... but no wings. I picked up a few just because.....

Might have to go back anc check for any more stock.....
