Soo nice to see an old Mantis GP running, i have a Volvo S40 on that chassie but it´s probably 10 years since i had it out for a spin.

Thank you for watching! Yes, this car is very special. You wont see many of these nowadays. A strange configuration, but very nice to drive!

That’s a great little nitro there very collectible in that original condition. I like the exhaust it sounds very good for a standard system. Top Job👍🏻

I’ve got one of these which I’m currently getting back on the road. It has upgraded suspension (with damping!) and the tuned exhaust which exits out the back of the car under the bumper. It’s not run for years but as I recall it was pretty quick, handled well and sounded very nice. I only used it on tarmac but I really like the front engine, front wheel drive layout like a hot hatch. I’ve got the two speed transmission which I’m going to fit. I like the wheels on your car which are different from mine - have you changed them? If so, can you tell me anything about them? Anyway, loved your car and video and thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you for watching! Yes, I have changed the wheels. Tyres are rally ones from aliexpress, while rims are Tamiya rally rims (54851). I never knew that this car had 2speed transmission option! I was thinking about rear exhaust with stock muffler, by using silicone hose and some attachments, but I left with this side pipe due to lower noise volume. Your model sound like a very cool one!

@@Mindauxx Many thanks for the parts info. There’s a list of the options at the back of the build instructions if you have them. Having watched your video, I wonder if I should put it back to stock! Anyway, I’ve got to get the engine running first! Thanks again.

Just picked one of these up on ebay. I'm curious if I can still get parts?
