About the Terra Conqueror 1/10 R/C buggy[]
Released in 1992, the Terra Conqueror is a four-wheel-drive R/C buggy produced by Tamiya. It utilised the same chassis as the Manta Ray.
While most aspects of the chassis are the same as Manta Ray, there are several key differences. The adjustable tie-rod upper arms, the limited-slip ball-thrust differentials, the ball bearings, the DynaTech 01R 540-size motor and the stainless propeller shaft, were now standard for the Terra Conqueror. In additions, the damper connectors has been changed from the step screw ones to the ball ones.
