Build and Test the Tamiya 76001 Solar Car

The Tamiya 76001 Solar Car Assembly Kit gives hobbyists and young engineers a practical way to learn about solar energy and simple mechanics. Part of Tamiya's STEM line, it combines step-by-step assembly with experimentation to teach how light and gearing affect motion.

Adjustable Gears and Solar Mounting

This kit includes three selectable gear ratios for side-by-side comparisons: high speed (1.7:1), mid speed (2.2:1) and low torque (3.4:1). The ball-mounted solar panel can be tilted to find the best angle for direct sunlight, making it easy to compare performance under different lighting.

Ideal for Hands-On Learning

Use the model to demonstrate basic energy conversion, torque and speed tradeoffs in classroom or club settings. Builders can record results across sunny and cloudy conditions to see how solar input changes vehicle behaviour.

  • Material: High-quality plastic components
  • Power Source: Solar panel (0.5V, 200mA)
  • Adjustable Gear Ratios: 1.7:1, 2.2:1, 3.4:1
This kit is best suited to builders aged 10 and up; younger children will benefit from adult help during assembly and testing.
Yes, you can run trials indoors using a strong lamp or LED floodlight, but the best performance will be under natural sunlight.
Basic tools like a small screwdriver and flush cutters are useful; most parts snap or screw together without specialised equipment.
Use the same light source and surface for each run, record conditions, and try each gear ratio multiple times to average out variations.
