Tamiya 76504 Solar Car Honda Dream - Practical STEM Model and Display

The Tamiya Solar Car Honda Dream model combines clear educational value with attractive display potential. This kit is part of Tamiya's STEM series and guides builders through fundamental solar mechanics via hands-on assembly while reflecting the spirit of the full-size Honda Dream that placed third in the 1993 World Solar Challenge.

Model Layout and Components

This non-scale model measures 115mm long, 40mm wide and 20mm high. It includes a compact solar motor and solar battery so the car can run in direct sunlight. The streamlined profile echoes the aerodynamic lines of the original, making it a neat display item once built.

STEM Learning Focus

As a STEM-oriented kit, the Tamiya Solar Car Honda Dream introduces renewable energy concepts through the build process. The step-by-step assembly clarifies how solar cells and a small motor interact, which is ideal for hobbyists and learners exploring sustainable tech in a practical way.

Showcase and Display

Beyond learning, this model makes a tidy display piece. Its compact size and working solar components create a conversation piece for a shelf, classroom or hobby bench.

Specifications

  • Length: 115mm
  • Width: 40mm
  • Height: 20mm
  • Includes solar motor and solar battery
  • Material: Plastic
The kit is aimed at beginners to intermediate builders; instructions are clear and parts are simple, so it is a good introduction to model assembly and basic electronics.
The solar motor performs best in direct sunlight. Strong indoor lamps may move the car slowly, but bright daylight gives the most reliable operation.
Modifications like reducing friction or improving wheel alignment can help, but major changes to the solar setup are not recommended if you want to keep the kit's educational intent.
