Mechanical Turtle - Four Leg Crawling Type
Item #71106

4-leg crawling-type Mechanical Turtle

Tamiya presents the 4-leg crawling-type Mechanical Turtle as its
next Robocraft Series item. Motor rotating power is transferred
to the legs via crank plates to make the Turtle crawl. Each pair
of legs (front and rear) are molded as one piece and front leg
plate is attached with a ball joint that serves as a fulcrum to
realistically imitate turtle crawling. Legs and body on which the
gearbox is mounted employ transparent-colored parts, giving the
turtle a funky look. Reverse switch is also transparent, giving
you a peek at the turtle's internal mechanisms. Assembly is very
simple with use of screws and snap-lock parts.

Body, legs, motor, gearbox, switch and screws are included in the
kit. Assembly is very simple with use of screws and snap-lock
parts. Cable ends are rubber capped with cut areas pre-marked for
easy wiring.

The secret of movement resides in the front leg plate. This plate
is attached with a ball joint that serves as a fulcrum to
transform crank plate forward/backward movement to make the
turtle crawl.

Clear switch with green transparent parts add a cool, futuristic
look. Thanks to this switch, the turtle can crawl forward and
backward.

Run on flat, smooth surfaces. Avoid running over slopes, on bumpy
roads or on long-haired carpet.
