Hey Guys
I have a Super Manta Ray that I was recently given. I was wondering firstly what kind of value does it hold. Is it rare in any sort. Also I plan on upgrading it to brushless if possible and upgrading it with hopups.

Do you'll think it would be better to leave it stock or modify it.

Hi,
The Super Manta Ray is the Ready To Run version of the more known Manta Ray.
The RTR version is a somewhat lesser attractive version, as it is a bit simpler in construction.

Super Manta Rays in good used condition seem to sell for somewhere between USD 75 and 110 according to Ebay.

I will leave the hop-up recommendations to others, who know more of this chassis than me

Thanks for the reply. What about a Manta Ray. I have one lying in the garage gathering dust.

Standard Manta Rays don't hold a lot of value, unless they have specific hop ups.
They are excellent cars to upgrade though, with a lot of after market parts that'll fit.
But beware, it's an addictive chassis.

Hmm... no response from waterbok (yet). He's the one with the most impressive DF-01 collection around and could tell you everything about it.

Another build by the way that got motivated by that first Manta Ray I bought - basically a 58100 Top Force :



Oops, didn't end there...

yeahhhhhhh!!!
Lovely Top Force. (I need one)........

I need one too.

Actually don't have many of those parts anymore... but still some!

I just have a frp rear shock post. A frp or carbon chassis kit makes me dream. I really love the ta01. I only have my hand made frp plates. between the dirt thrasher's gearboxes.

Let me post more than a thousand words for you then.
