"Manta Sportboat"
Who hasn't dreamed of owning a real Ferrari? The original, at least, was powered by a V12 engine from the prestigious Italian manufacturer. What will likely remain an unaffordable dream for most is now attainable for every model builder, at least in 1:8 scale.
The MANTA A02 model was designed down to the smallest detail to be as close as possible to the original from the 1960s. Even though this model uses "only" a brushless motor for its rapid propulsion, the mahogany veneer on the all-fiberglass fuselage creates a very elegant look, further enhanced by an elaborate exhaust system with tailpipes and a high-quality photo-etched detail set. The assembly effort is minimal, as the pre-assembled fuselage means only planking and interior fitting are required. With a 3-4S LiPo battery, speeds of approximately 40 km/h can be achieved.
The kit contains: All fiberglass and wooden parts required for assembly, as well as intricately crafted injection-molded parts. The high-quality photo-etched detail set in nickel silver includes trim strips, window frames, fan grilles, dashboard, running boards, steering wheel, Manta logos, and lettering. A well-illustrated instruction manual is also included.

We recommend brushless motors with a specific speed of approximately 1800-2000 kV for propulsion, using 3-4S LiPo batteries.
