Tamiya 71122 Wind-Up 4-Legged Robot

The Tamiya 71122 Robocraft Series delivers a wind-up four-legged robot built from transparent parts so the inner mechanics are on display. Because it uses a hand-cranked generator, no batteries are needed and builders can trace power transfer through gears.

Construction and Movement Details

Clear plastic panels expose the gearwork and linkages that create walking motion. Turn the handle clockwise for forward travel and the opposite way for reverse. The moving eyes and a vibrating tail animate the model and make it engaging on the move.

Use as an Educational Model and Display Item

This kit is well suited to hobby benches and learning environments where the focus is on mechanical concepts rather than electronics. After assembly, it works as an instructive display piece that demonstrates how motion can be produced mechanically.

Specifications

Some small parts may be compatible with other Tamiya models, but check dimensions and fittings before attempting cross-kit swaps.
Yes. The instructions are clear enough for solo assembly, though younger builders may benefit from occasional adult help.
