Tamiya 70228 Arm Crawler Educational Build Kit  [70228]

Tamiya 70228 Arm Crawler - Hands-On Mechanical Learning

The Tamiya 70228 Arm Crawler is an instructive model that blends kit building with an introduction to RC control and simple circuitry. Designed for active learning, it encourages problem solving during assembly and use.

Climbing Action and Track Rotation

Featuring four rotating tracks with two on independently moving arms, the Arm Crawler can negotiate steps and raised edges up to 45mm. The rotating arm sections let the vehicle latch onto slopes and demonstrate practical traction and balance concepts.

Assembly Details and Visible Mechanics

This model requires construction of both the chassis and the included 2-channel transmitter, offering a complete build experience. The transparent gearbox shows internal gearing, helping builders visualise motion transfer and gear ratios.

Designed for Learners and Hobbyists

Well suited to classroom or solo study, the kit helps newcomers understand simple electronic circuits and mechanical linkages. Bright yellow body panels recall site machinery and make the finished model easy to spot during testing.
