Hey guys, I want to upgrade my 15~ years old tamiya manta ray, I've read a lot on the forums and I'm a bit confused, this is the first time I've decided to "open the hood" of the car. Right now I'm running Nimh batteries and I've decided to move to LIPO's. I ordered these parts: -Aluminum motor mount -x2 3S LIPO batt 2300mAh 45C -HobbyWing QuicRun 1060 brushed ESC 60A -53068 Tamiya high speed motor 540 Mabuchi -TA02 high gear set(66T/69T) -Aluminum main drive shaft for TA01/Top Force -Aluminum pitch 0.6 hard coated 25T pinion gear -Ceramic grease and 450 soft damper oil Maybe its too late, but according to what I checked those parts should be compatible to my RC car right? Is the 69T spur gear correct choice? My aim is to upgrade it, but I'm afraid to overstress the car, I just want it to still be reliable, I'm using it seldom times on dirt and roads. Any help would be appreciated , thanks!

Hi guys Not been around in a while - hope everyone is doing great.... A couple years ago I took a stock vintage manta ray and turned it into a saloon car sort of thing, with a Subaru body and a brushless motor... Thing is with the body running to close to the ground and the track and wheel base reduced it didn’t handle so great.... No I would like to turn it back into a buggy.... Has anyone got some links and pointers for bits? I want to base it on the same chassis, i.e. a top force / manta ray kinda thing... I am looking for the full kit, alloy arms, drive shafts, carbon chassis parts etc etc etc etc - THE WHOLE LOT..... Apart from fleabay I am a bit lost as to where to start, erg. I cannot find a DF-01 yeah racing upgrade anywhere - I am not sure what parts are interchangeable etc etc etc... Any help / advice / comments are all greatly appreciated..... I don’t mind if something costs a few squid, but this is just a wee bit of fun to have a basher to knock around for fun, thanks so so much
