This week’s Picture Of The Week is of Mark Swift’s super cool Star Wars Imperial Fighter Tamiya Manta Ray. From Warrington, England, he tells us that this buggy started out as a £20 bargain buy off Facebook and has been upgraded a set of HPI shocks, a 15t brushed motor and HobbyKing esc and finished it off with a Kamtec repro body. A little water and some deck furniture were all that was needed to give this sharp looking Ray a cool backdrop and some added effect for a killer shot!

What can I say, the only thing I've done longer than RC is breathe! I got my first car when I was 11 and never looked back. Hundreds of cars and trucks later I've raced everything from Off-Road to Boats. Whether I’m down siding a jump or going fast and turning left, it’s on like Donkey Kong and my foot is to the floor! I love seeing new people discover our hobby and helping anyone I can enjoy it more. I organize the Vintage Offroad Nationals, I’m also a dad and enjoy teaching my son how to drive and watching him get into this hobby on his own.
