Practical STEM Project: Tamiya 70211 Arm Crawler

The Tamiya 70211 Arm Crawler Assembly Kit mixes practical construction with learning, offering a tangible way to examine mechanical systems. It is part of the STEM lineup and encourages builders to explore how components interact in a moving model.

Motion and Track Design

Equipped with four rotating tracks - two on the body and one per arm - the crawler moves over a range of surfaces. Each arm turns independently, allowing it to pull itself past obstacles up to 45mm and illustrating basic mechanical leverage.

Construction Tips

All required parts are included, using a combination of snap-fit and screw connections to speed the build. The motor includes a pre-fitted switch so wiring is simplified. A rear stay is supplied to provide extra balance during climbing tests.

Expansion Paths

To add remote control or dual-motor operation you can fit accessories such as the Twin-Motor Gearbox (item 70097) and the 2-Channel Remote Control Box (item 70102), which expand testing and play options.

Specifications

  • Material: moulded plastic parts
  • Power: one AA battery required (sold separately)
  • Wiring: basic connections needed to complete motor circuit
  • Includes rear stay for increased climbing stability
Yes, the kit is accessible for first time builders with basic patience; adult help is useful for wiring and small screw fitting.
You can upgrade the model with the 2-Channel Remote Control Box (item 70102) and optional motor gearbox to enable remote operation.
Flat indoor surfaces, hardwood or tiled floors are ideal. Avoid rough, damp or very dusty outdoor ground to protect the mechanism.
