Tamiya now presents the Mechanical Tiger as its next addition to the Robocraft Series. Power from the rotating motor is transferred to the legs via crank plates to make the tiger walk. Tiger's body parts have been molded with yellow semi-transparent plastic, giving the tiger a futuristic look. Assembly is very simple with use of screws and snap-lock parts.

This is a four-legged mechanical dog with various speed controls. The dog walks by transferring motor revolution to reciprocating motion via crank and linkage rod. Main body and legs are made of transparent yellow parts to allow viewing of internal mechanisms. Construction is simple as parts can easily be attached with screws. Wiring has also been made simple.

This is a 1.5V-500mA Solar Panel from Tamiya.

The galloping racehorse with jockey is loads of fun to build, loads of fun to play with, and educational too!

Overall this galloping racehorse can run 1.3 times faster than the mechanical rabbit.

This is the Mechanical Kangaroo Assembly Kit from Tamiya's RoboCraft Series. For Ages 10 and Up.

This is a Tank Tracked Vehicle Chassis Kit from Tamiya. It's for very experienced model builders.

Internal motor spins a cylindrical plate with a weight (a screw) placed on one side creating an updown rapid vibrating movement. This vibration is then conveyed to 3 rods that smoothly propel the model forward in a sliding type movement.Easy assembly using snap-on parts and screws. Powered by a Type 130 motor. Direction can be easily altered by changing the direction of the rods. Speed can be adjusted by changing the angle of the rods. Body shape designed to represent various popular animals whilst maintaining a curved form to move around obstacles. Eyes act as rollers also helping model to smoothly work around obstacles. Games and races can be easily made by building an obstacle course usin
