Manta Ray and others

The Manta-Ray and Dirt Thrasher are buggy variants of the TA-01 chassis.

I would guess they are just worth typical used buggy prices. Nothing special except maybe if they are new in box. I'm not really an expert on pricing, but that would be my guess. Try looing on ebay to se how much similar cars sell for.

Also the To-Forces and the Terra Conqueror are TA-01 based. These are hopped-up buggies compared to the Manta Ray and others which are just basic "play around" type buggies, but they are all TA-01 based.

hi

yes if it is a good condition Top Force or even better Top Force Evolution it would be worth a good amount, compared to some other newer buggies.

[spiff84(2)]

oh yeah: and Top Forces rock!

Yes, but it's actually the buggy version (DF01) that came first, so the TA01 touring/rally-chassis is a variant of the DF01 buggy chassis, DF01 being Manta Ray, Terra Conqueror, Dirt Thrasher, Top Force, Top Force Evo and Blazing Star. Manta Ray was the first DF01 being car # 87 (58087) whereas the the first TA01 was car # 96 (58096), the Toyota Celica Rally GT4.

Yes, my brother had a Manta Ray when they first came out. At the time, it seemed like a big step up from his Terra Scorcher.

When I posted, I knew there were a couple of Manta-Ray clones I hadn't mentioned, but I'm surprised I forgot the Top-Force. I guess when I see 'TA-01' I automatically think 'plastic bathtub'. Then again, I can't really imagine anyone who had a Top-Force describing it as a TA-01 buggy.
