Tamiya 71108 Mechanical Rabbit Robocraft Hopping Kit  [71108]

Tamiya 71108 Mechanical Rabbit - Robocraft Hopping Model

The Tamiya 71108 Mechanical Rabbit brings a hands-on build that highlights basic mechanical concepts while delivering a fun assembly session. Bright components and a springy hopping action make this Robocraft entry both a display piece and a simple demonstrator for gear and linkage motion.

Build and Aesthetic Details

The model uses semi-transparent parts to show off its inner linkages and gearing. Long ears and a rounded snout give the rabbit a friendly look, and the mix of screws and snap-fit parts keeps the kit approachable for newcomers to model assembly.

Power and Motion

Movement is driven by a single R03/AAA/UM4 cell (not included) with the motor and battery holder placed forward to help balance the chassis. Rear leg actuation creates the hopping action while front rollers stabilize the unit during motion.

Track Use and Display

With the supplied guides the rabbit can run on Mini 4WD circuits, although best results come from smooth, even surfaces to avoid stalling or derailment. It also makes an attractive shelf model when not in use.
