Tamiya 70228 Arm Crawler for Practical Model Building

The Tamiya 70228 Arm Crawler combines hands-on assembly with an introduction to remote control systems and basic electronics. It is built to teach fundamentals through active construction and outdoor testing.

Arm Movement and Obstacle Handling

Equipped with four rotating tracks and two articulated arms, the crawler can climb over obstacles up to 45mm. The rotating arm sections allow the model to grip raised surfaces, showing how traction and leverage work in simple machines.

Constructive Learning and Gear Visibility

This kit requires step-by-step assembly, including the 2-channel controller, so builders learn assembly techniques and component function. The clear gearbox offers an educational view of the drive train and gear interaction.

Great for Clubs and Individual Builders

Targeted at budding engineers and hobbyists, the kit demonstrates basic circuits and mechanical motion. Yellow-coloured body parts give the model a site-equipment look that appeals during testing and demonstrations.

Specifications

  • Material: Plastic
  • Dimensions: Non-scale
  • Movement Speed: Approximately 1 meter per 9 seconds
  • Power: Requires two AA and C batteries (sold separately)
Basic modelling tools such as side cutters, a small screwdriver set and hobby nippers are helpful. A file or fine sandpaper can tidy plastic parts for a cleaner fit.
Yes, the plastic can be painted with hobby acrylics or sprays after light surface preparation. Mask moving parts to avoid paint affecting fit or movement.
The included 2-channel transmitter is intended for close-range operation typical of demonstration and testing. For extended range or more robust control, consider upgrading to a higher-spec transmitter later.
