That's awesome! Not your usual Tamiya offering....

It appears to have some Schumacher-ey bits as well (ball cups, rear tower support).

I'm in the UK, what else are we going to use for generic part but Schumacher. Most big bores fitted to vintage racers are Schumacher, because for us they rae cheaper than anything else and spares are plentiful. I'm planning on fitting a set of Tamiya big bores on it to try and ad more brand loyalty, although the actual cars raced by Jamie Booth and Craig Drescher are fitted with Associated big bores.

Not a Tamiya person at all...but damn- that's a serous vintage racee

Thanks, it's a modern replica of the original Manta Ray that had a lot of hand made parts that Tamiya Japan built for Jamie Booth to race, that he used to win the UK off road nationals in 1991. There's more information about these cars from Lee Broadhurst here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUf1l12g1wA&t=1195s&ab_channel=RCMisfits
