Fun Mark Bryan RC Fact: The wife makes me listen to your videos on the big speakers now, not on my headphones. She says you sound like "The David Attenborough of RC." Hahahaha. She loves your voice. So there you go, Mark. You could be the next big thing, narrating anything and everything! 😂
Haha! 😂 That is awesome! I actually hate listening to my voice as I play back and edit the videos! But tell Bre that I'm flattered! I'll take "The David Attenborough of RC." any day of the week! If only I could get paid to do narrations and voice-overs! 😂 Cheers bro! 🍻😎👊👍
Many thanks Paul and glad I could give you at least a couple build videos, yeah not so many making these lately. Don't worry, I'll continue to document every Kit I build, it just feels normal as I've done so many!!!! 😅 Have a smashing weekend! 😎👊👍
That was enjoyable, Mark! Couple coffees, sit in the kitchen, Saturday morning, watch a Mark Bryan Tamiya build video, doesn't get much better than that! It really does look like a nice build! So much so that I wondered off to check if EuroRC has it on stock, but they didn't, so probably that means I won't buy this for Christmas, but I also have so many other things that are more important, so maybe best to wait, he he... At least I can enjoy it on video! Have a great weekend there, my friend!
Hi Mads and glad to hear you enjoyed this one, I know how much you like your buggies! Ah well, if they ain't got one in stock, it wasn't meant to be... you never know you might pick one up later. I highly recommend this chassis my friend. Should be as good to drive as it was to build. Good luck with all that other stuff you've got going on and enjoy your weekend too. Cheers mate! 🍻😎👍
Hi Damian, well I don't know about master but I try my best, and I have at least got a bit of practice doing these by now! 😅 But much appreciated my friend. 🙏 Hope your weekend is going well! 🤞😎👍
That looked like a really nice build, and no nasty surprises either! I have to say that the Tamiya CVA dampers are actually really good, I've never had a problem with them in any of the kits that I've built over the years. Awesome build video as always mate, love it!!
Thanks Cat, it really was a pleasure to put together and I just know this will be one of the better running Tamiya buggies, it just feels "right"! All the best mate, have a smashing weekend! 😎👊👍
Hey Mark, long time eh? Another nice building guide, it would appear many of us have plunged for one of these Manta Ray kits, I think it because they’ve been selling at a relatively cheap price. I managed to get one from Amazon EU for £118.00! Seemed a no brainer. Best wishes 😊
Just built one of these myself, finished it about 15 minutes ago. Great build, It was interesting to see all the design changes between this and the Boomerang I built just a few days ago.I went with PS-48 paint, It didn't go well, But that's traditional for me...
Hi and many thanks for watching! Coincidence you just finished yours... I think the DF-01 is a fantastic chassis and I know it handles well. I hope I have more luck with my paint job, I have a similar colour lined up! Cheers! 🍻😎👍
Great video and excellently explained! I only made 1 mistake when I recently built mine - I found I had the D15 spacers left over after finishing the car, and was scratching my head as to what they were for?? I soon realised that after building the first rear shock I then just repeated x4 without looking any further! 😂 It was my first rc build for nearly 30 years!! 👍
Hi there and thanks for stopping by! Great to hear you are on a new RC build after 30 years! But that one mistake was a very easy mistake to make, I almost did the same! I hope you enjoy your Manta Ray, all the best! 😎👊👍
Nice clear video as usual there Mark. Tempted one day to buy one of these, definitely good value for money the kit. Most likely I'd use the revive rc body on it which I prefer to the kit body.
Thanks very much Tony! I think you should go for one of these one day, there are some cracking deals out there. Maybe you could do one of your "transformation" paint jobs on this body then! Have a smashing weekend mate! 🍻😎👍
well, got mine literally finished (besides the dampers, i wait for these until the end), 'cause filling these makes the most mess. and i want to construct a damper-filling stand for easily filling the dampers - so that you don't need to look where to put them when you have filled them the first time and not have closed them (to let the air come out). i just can't wait to see when you do videos of running the manta ray, or even try to compete it with other buggys, 'cause that's what this buggy is made for!
I'm slowly getting there with my Manta Ray build. quick question, I want to do the body box art but don't want to ruin it when I use it. Do you know of any other Tamiya body's that will fit that I can use as a runner body? Will the Top Force fit?

@MarkBryanRC too funny, mate! 😂😂😂
Great build video series!! Not as many build videos on RUclips these days and I miss them as they are my favourite 😊

Nice chassis build, one of the best Tamiya buggies.
Thanks Mal, got to agree with that, this is one classy chassis!👍

On checking the servo I also make sure the transmit trim is centered.
That's a very good point, Alan, I should have mentioned that! Thanks! 🙏😎👍
