Quick Look at the Swivelbot

The Tamiya 70244 Swivelbot is an educational model that demonstrates simple mechanical principles through a compact, active design. Ideal for those who enjoy building small working models, this kit blends a straightforward assembly process with visible motion and obstacle-responsive behaviour.

Drive Mechanism and Visual Action

Direction changes are achieved when the rotating front wheel engages obstacles, transferring motion via a crown gearbox. The spinning antenna on top adds kinetic character while the drive system shows how gearing converts motor output into reactive movement.

Assembly requires only a few screws, making the kit accessible to novice builders and hobbyists alike. It is powered by the same motor used in Tamiya's Mini Motor Slim Gearbox, providing dependable operation. A sticker sheet is supplied so you can personalise the finished model.
