Aerodynamic Excellence
This high performance plastic Mini 4WD assembly kit is the third model launched
in the aerodynamically-superior Mini 4WD REV Series, the Aero Manta Ray. The
model's unique flowing form owes much to the fin-like shapes on both of the
rear sides, and it features a small front wing. Large side air intakes and an
air outlet on the rear of course lead to excellent aerodynamics, but here is the
clever part: as the air flows through, it is also used to cool easy-to-overheat
parts such as the battery and motor. The aerodynamic performance is further
bolstered by the rear wing's “swan neck” design, in common use on many
Japanese Super GT Series machines. The final touch of class is provided by
metallic stickers included in the kit.
The Aero Manta Ray: a new evolution of a rich history
The Manta Ray has a rich history, including the popular 4WD R/C racing buggy and
the Manta Ray Jr. (Racing Mini 4WD) and Manta Ray Mk. II (Mini 4WD PRO) models
it spawned. A common theme among all the models are the fin-like body sides
inspired by the form of the manta ray which swims the seas. The Aero Manta Ray's
“swan neck” is the first example of such a rear wing in the Manta Ray
series, as are the large air intakes and superior aerodynamics. It truly is a
new evolution for the Manta Ray series.
Ground-hugging body with large diameter wheels
The curved body runs low to the ground, minimizing air resistance. The
gold-colored narrow 5-spoke wheels are lightweight and fitted with arched tires
that in conjunction with the wheel's large diameter make it well-suited to
tracks with longer straight sections.
