Discover the Tamiya 70228 Arm Crawler for Practical STEM Learning

The Tamiya 70228 Arm Crawler gives hobbyists and students a tactile way to explore mechanics and remote control basics. This educational kit combines model assembly with introductory electronics, making it a solid pick for hands-on learning projects.

Track-Based Grip and Obstacle Performance

With four rotating tracks, two mounted on movable arms, the Arm Crawler is built to climb obstacles up to 45mm. The arm articulation lets the model grab onto inclines and raised surfaces, demonstrating traction, balance and simple leverage in a visible, practical way.

Build Process and Visible Geartrain

The kit arrives for assembly and includes a 2-channel transmitter that also needs putting together, giving a full build experience. A clear gearbox casing exposes the internal gears so builders can observe how power is transferred from the motor to the tracks.

Who Will Enjoy This Kit

Perfect for learners and hobbyists curious about basic circuits and motion, the Arm Crawler comes with yellow-moulded body parts reminiscent of construction machines, adding a realistic touch to classroom or home projects.

Specifications

  • Material: Plastic
  • Dimensions: Non-scale
  • Movement Speed: Approximately 1 meter per 9 seconds
  • Power: Requires two AA and C batteries (sold separately)
The kit is aimed at beginners to intermediate builders; the instructions are clear and the assembly is a good introduction to tools, parts identification and basic wiring.
The model needs two AA cells plus a C cell for power. Run time depends on battery quality and load, so use fresh alkaline cells for longer sessions or rechargeable options for repeated use.
Smooth indoor floors, low-pile carpet and mild outdoor concrete are suitable. Avoid very loose gravel or deep grass where the small tracks could bog down.
