Tamiya 89902 - Mechanical Turtle (Finished Model)  [89902]

Tamiya Mechanical Turtle: A Unique Addition to Your Collection

The Tamiya Mechanical Turtle is an intriguing addition to Tamiya's Robocraft series, offering both hobbyists and collectors a chance to appreciate its mechanical design and movement. This finished model stands out with its realistic crawling action, achieved through a clever mechanism that mimics the natural motion of a turtle.

Design and Mechanics

This model features a motor-driven system where the rotating power is transferred to the turtle's legs via crank plates. The front and rear legs are crafted as pairs, with the front leg plate attached using a ball joint. This setup allows for a fulcrum point, enabling the turtle to crawl realistically, providing a fascinating display piece for any collection.

Power Requirements

The Tamiya Mechanical Turtle requires one R03/AAA/UM4 battery, which is sold separately. This ensures that the model remains lightweight and easy to handle, making it suitable for display purposes without the need for constant supervision.
