Tamiya 70108 educational tracked chassis

The Tamiya 70108 Tracked Vehicle Chassis Kit is a practical introduction to basic mechanical principles through assembly. It suits both hobbyists looking for a simple project and group activities focused on hands-on learning.

Chassis performance and handling

The tracked configuration is engineered to cope with uneven ground and small obstacles, making it useful for tests of traction and balance. Its rugged construction demonstrates how treads and suspension affect movement.

Gearbox and FA-130 motor details

The kit includes an FA-130 motor plus a gearbox with two gear ratio settings: 203.7:1 for higher torque and controllable motion, and 58.2:1 for increased speed. These settings let you explore how gearing changes drive behavior.

Custom builds and integrations

This chassis can be put together as a standalone educational model or incorporated into larger builds with extra parts and accessories. Its flexible design supports experimentation and progressive upgrades.

Basic hobby tools like screwdrivers, pliers and a hobby knife are sufficient. Follow the instruction manual and work on a clear surface to keep parts organised.
Flat indoor floors, packed dirt or short-grass areas are suitable for most tests. Avoid very loose sand or deep mud which can bog down the small chassis.
Yes, you can add a lightweight body shell and install a simple radio system. Ensure any added weight does not exceed what the FA-130 motor and gearing can handle.
Keep gears and moving parts free of debris, check for wear periodically, and apply light lubricant where specified in the instructions to prolong component life.
