About the Tamiya 70088 Walking Triceratops

The Tamiya 70088 Walking Triceratops is a carefully designed wooden kit that blends simple mechanics with model making. Pre-cut components and a pre-assembled crank-arm gearbox simplify construction, allowing builders to focus on assembly technique and observing the motion created by the mechanism.

Movement and Educational Value

The model uses a link rod setup to create a coordinated walking motion for the legs while also moving the head and tail. The visible crank-arm gearbox driven by the RE-140 motor provides a useful demonstration of converting rotational power into reciprocal movement, making it ideal for hobbyists who enjoy mechanical projects.

Specifications

  • Material: Pre-cut wood
  • Motor: RE-140
  • Gearbox: Crank-arm, pre-built
Many modellers prefer to paint parts before final assembly to reach hidden areas, but be cautious not to hinder moving joints or add excess weight.
The kit uses an RE-140 motor; replacement motors and compatible spares can often be sourced from Tamiya support or hobby suppliers if required.
Periodic checks for loose glue joints, light lubrication of contact points and gentle cleaning will keep the walking action smooth and reliable.
