Explore Motion with the Tamiya 70213 Fin Kick Craft Set

The Tamiya 70213 Fin Kick Craft Set delivers a tactile introduction to basic mechanics by combining assembly and running tests. This STEM-focused model is suitable for hobbyists and novice builders who want a simple engineering project.

Construction and Mechanism Details

The robot uses a springing arm driven by two motors to produce a kicking motion that moves the craft forward. Its modest size of 184mm by 126mm by 82mm keeps the build straightforward, with parts that click together and a handful of screws to finalize assembly.

Running Characteristics and Reliability

With the motor and on/off switch fitted beforehand, putting the model together is quick and clear. The craft can cover about one metre in four to five seconds, and rear support bars help stabilise the model and assist recovery if it overturns.

Specifications

  • Motorized model assembly kit
  • Dimensions: Length 184mm, Width 126mm, Height 82mm
  • Pre-attached motor and switch
  • Operates up to 2 hours on a single AA battery (not included)
  • Durable underside cover protects the gearbox

Will children be able to build this on their own?

Older kids with some kit experience can assemble most of this themselves, but younger builders should have an adult on hand for the small screws and motor connections.

What surfaces work best for running the craft?

Flat, smooth surfaces like laminate, tile or short-pile carpet are best for consistent motion; uneven ground will reduce distance and may cause tipping.

Are upgrades possible for speed or durability?

You can experiment with different arm tensions and balance adjustments to change performance, but any motor or gearbox changes should respect the original fit and gearing to avoid damage.
