Tamiya 70243 Triple Crawler Classroom Kit  [70243]

Tamiya 70243 Triple Crawler Kit for STEM Projects

The Tamiya 70243 Triple Crawler is designed to offer a clear, hands-on introduction to mechanical systems for hobbyists and learners. The kit balances educational value with an accessible build process that highlights moving parts and simple engineering.

Movement and Balance

Featuring two larger front crawlers and a smaller tail crawler, this layout provides adaptive movement and extra stability. The tail unit supports the model when it negotiates irregular surfaces or steps, and alternative side part assembly permits different movement experiments including running on a side profile.

Motor and Gearbox Info

Included in the kit is the Mini Motor Slim Gearbox (2-Speed), which lets builders investigate how gearbox choices affect speed and torque. The component is useful for small robotics demonstrations and mechanical studies.

Construction Notes and Display

The assembled model measures 178.6mm long, 97mm wide and 72.3mm high, suitable for shelf display or class demos. It needs two AAA batteries (sold separately) to power the motor, keeping the operation simple and low voltage.
