Tamiya 71124 Mechanical Mammoth Retro Robocraft Kit  [71124]

Tamiya 71124 Mechanical Mammoth Overview

The Tamiya 71124 Mechanical Mammoth joins the Robocraft line as a compact mechanical model that blends display appeal with practical learning. Its visible gearing and motion make it a strong pick for hobbyists, educators, and young engineers exploring mechanical design.

Movement and Mechanism

This mammoth walks with a lifelike gait while its head bobs from side to side, driven by a gear train with a ratio of 203.7:1 for steady, reliable movement. The trunk is manually adjustable to vary the model's pose and realism.

Build and Learning Benefits

Clear ABS components expose the internal linkages so builders can watch the mechanism in action, reinforcing mechanical concepts. Assembly requires no cement, keeping the build straightforward for newcomers to model kits and STEM projects.

Power and Size

Power comes from a single AA battery (sold separately), making the model simple to run and service. With a length of 165mm and a height of 107mm, it fits comfortably on a shelf or classroom desk.
