Hands-on Tamiya 70108 Tracked Chassis

The Tamiya 70108 Tracked Vehicle Chassis Kit is a practical classroom and hobby project that introduces basic mechanics and simple engineering principles. Ideal for beginners and experienced modelers alike, the kit encourages learning by building and experimenting with motion concepts.

Tracks and terrain capability

This tracked chassis is built to handle mixed surfaces, making it well suited for demonstrations and small experiments. Its sturdy construction lets users observe traction, balance and how treads help clear obstacles during movement.

Motor and gearbox options

The kit comes with an FA-130 motor and a gearbox that offers two selectable gear ratios: a lower speed, high torque 203.7:1 ratio for controlled movement and a faster 58.2:1 ratio for higher speed. These options let builders experiment with torque versus speed tradeoffs.

Modular use and upgrades

Use the tracked chassis as a standalone teaching model or combine it with other kits and accessories to create customised rigs. Its adaptable layout makes it a handy base for testing additional components and learning about mechanical expansion.

You will need a compatible battery pack and an ESC or simple on/off switch to power the FA-130 motor. For remote control operation, add a small receiver and servo as required by your controller setup.
Assembly is straightforward for those comfortable with hobby tools and instructions. Expect to spend a few hours; younger builders should have adult supervision for some steps.
Yes, the gearbox supports the two supplied ratios. Switching requires disassembly of the gearbox to swap gears, which is a good learning exercise in mechanical gear trains.
Spare screws and common parts are often available through hobby shops or the manufacturer. Keep a small parts tray during build to avoid losing tiny components.
