About the Mechanical Turtle

This finished model from Tamiya presents visible mechanical action in a compact form. The Mechanical Turtle is ideal for display and for anyone curious about converting rotary motion into walking movement.

Construction and Motion

A small motor transmits power to crank plates that move the leg assemblies in sequence. The front and rear leg pairs work together, and the front plate's ball joint creates the necessary pivot so the legs emulate a turtle-like crawl.

Power Details

The model needs one R03/AAA/UM4 battery, which is not included. Its simple power requirement keeps the model light and easy to position for display or short demonstrations.

How do I start the model?

Insert one R03/AAA/UM4 battery into the battery compartment and switch on if a power switch is fitted; the motor will drive the crank assembly to move the legs.

Is assembly required?

No assembly is required for this finished model, so it can be used straight from the box for display or demonstration.

How do I maintain the mechanism?

Keep the model clean and avoid exposing it to dust and moisture; avoid prolonged continuous running to limit wear on the crank and motor components.

Can it be used as a teaching aid?

Yes, its clear mechanical action and compact design make it a useful visual aid for basic STEM lessons about linkages and motion conversion.
