Tamiya 71106 Mechanical Turtle Kit - Four-Leg Crawler  [71106]

Tamiya Mechanical Turtle - Robocraft Four-Leg Crawler

The Tamiya Mechanical Turtle joins the Robocraft Series as a compact mechanical kit that demonstrates legged motion and linkages. Its four-leg crawling setup imitates a turtle step and works well as an educational build or a display model.

Mechanism and Motion

Motor-powered crank plates convert rotation into the leg movement, producing a smooth crawling action. The front and rear legs are molded as single units, while the front leg plate is mounted on a ball joint to recreate stepping motion. Transparent body and leg parts give the model a clean, modern appearance.

Included Parts and Build

The kit includes body parts, legs, motor, gearbox, switch, and screws needed for assembly. Construction combines screws and snap-fit pieces so builders of different skill levels can complete it. Rubber-capped cable ends with marked cut points simplify wiring and reduce assembly errors.

Running and Controls

The clear switch with green transparent parts both looks distinctive and allows forward and reverse operation. For reliable performance run the turtle on flat, smooth surfaces rather than carpet or rough terrain.
