Tamiya 70265 Walking Triceratops STEM Model  [70265]

What the Tamiya 70265 Walking Triceratops Shows You

The Tamiya 70265 Walking Triceratops delivers practical STEM learning through a fun build, giving makers a chance to assemble a working walking dinosaur. The project highlights linkages, gearing and simple motor-driven motion in a compact kit.

Construction Details and Performance

Wooden components paired with transparent plastic let you see the internal mechanism as it operates. The model's proportions draw on research from the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum for credible shaping. Finished dimensions are 284mm long, 92mm wide and 115mm high, with the Triceratops walking at about 1.67 cm/s while moving its head and tail for a natural effect.

Assembly Layout and Power

The plastic gearbox arrives pre-assembled with the 130-size motor installed and only two cables to connect, which streamlines the build for novices. The 280:1 gear ratio produces a steady walking action and the kit runs from a single AA battery (not included) for around four hours per battery.
