Overview of the Tamiya 76501 Solar Kit

The Tamiya 76501 Solar Car Kyocera Blue Eagle is a practical model built to illustrate the basics of solar-powered movement and simple mechanics. It mirrors the original Kyocera Blue Eagle idea, using a solar cell to drive a small motor for visible demonstrations.

Assembly Notes

The kit is arranged for straightforward construction, making it ideal for beginners and young builders exploring model kits for the first time. The assembled dimensions are 112mm length, 40mm width and 24mm height, offering a compact but clear example of photovoltaic propulsion.

Practical STEM Applications

Well suited to hands-on STEM sessions, the Kyocera Blue Eagle helps users learn about energy conversion and gear interaction. Working through the build gives practical insight into how light becomes motion and how simple mechanisms influence performance.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 112mm (L) x 40mm (W) x 24mm (H)
  • Power Source: Solar motor
  • Material: Plastic components
No prior experience is needed; the kit is aimed at newcomers and provides a simple introduction to model assembly and solar power concepts.
The basic gear layout is fixed, but hobbyists can experiment with wheel size and friction to observe how changes affect speed and torque.
Keep the solar panel clean and check for debris in the gear train; occasional light lubrication of moving parts helps maintain smooth operation.
Yes, outdoor demonstrations in bright sun showcase the solar motor best, though avoid wet or very dusty conditions to protect the parts.
