nice find,good looking manta

(couple of upgrade you should do first is motor mount,the originals tend to brake easy,go for alloy motor mount and then shocks)

[Pata76]

That looks very neat - I like how the red heatsinks on the ESC and servo tie in with the red front hubs, which tend to look a bit out of place otherwise. The black carbon shaft is also a nice visual touch, as well as no doubt working better than the standard coat hanger wire.

 

One suggestion though - how about fitting the original MSC resistor cover? My mate has done that with his, and it looks really neat, filling the hole in the bodyshell and making it look more original with the shell on. You can of course remove the resistor itself to save weight.
