Baddon 860 Posted February 9, 2020 Bought a manta ray in rough condition (turns out its all working BUT the front suspension tower has ripped out of the front box, splitting both screw holders) I am only after it to rebuild the car to usable status, so does not need to be new. Hoping someone out there has upgraded or prettied up one and has a box of bits with it in there. I intend at some stage to re - body it as a Dirt Thrasher as the body is totally mashed. - see parts needed in latest post in the thread please. UK based for post.

Baddon 860 Posted January 17, 2021 now after doing the B parts I have noticed a few other things not quite right So I am in need off the following used in reasonable condition is fine. UK based. rear bumper as my buggy does not have one and with 3 crew holes I assume there should be one? E5 A front shock bottom spring retainer (the black bit that seats the bottom of the spring) D1 Correct wing mount for a Dirt Thrasher as the Manta one leaves it looking WRONG, way to flat with no tilt. E3 Battery retainer for motor side of the buggy. E11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aynar 29 Posted January 18, 2021 The E3 on my manta and dirt thrasher are identical 🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aynar 29 Posted January 18, 2021 And yeah, they both have rear bumpers but only one screw needed in the centre hole -- the extra holes on the side are for the pegs that are built into the bumper. The top force didn't come with a rear bumper (even though it uses the same rear gearbox and cover) which makes it look too 'flat' for me, so I still put one on despite it not being 'accurate' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baddon 860 Posted January 18, 2021 so basically I am after E parts tree - this should be same as for Manta Ray, Terra Conquer and a single D1 which should be common to a load of buggies. Anyone have a rumage in parts bins in Uk who can help me please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it the dirt thrasher wing you're fitting? Might sound silly but is it the right way around? I got a used one once and it had been stickered up backwards. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
