Tamiya 70115 Remote Controlled Forklift Overview

The Tamiya 70115 Remote Controlled Forklift is a hands-on model that pairs remote operation with educational assembly.

The lift uses a threaded rod to handle loads up to 100 grams, providing a clear example of basic mechanics and leverage.

This model is a practical way to learn about remote-controlled vehicle mechanics without complex assembly demands.
