Tamiya 70231 Body Sections for Longer Centipede Builds

The Tamiya 70231 body sections let you expand an existing Centipede Robot (Item 70230) by adding more segments to the backbone. This kit suits makers and students exploring robotics through build-and-test methods.

Integration and Compatibility Notes

The kit supplies four additional segments that plug into the original unit using the same joint system. The universal style connections preserve articulation so the robot can still negotiate different surfaces. Designed to mate with Item 70230, the sections keep assembly straightforward for newcomers and experienced builders alike.

Hands-On Experiments and Observation

Extending the chassis opens opportunities to try alternative configurations and study how length affects turning, stride, and balance. Use these experiments to learn basic dynamics and mechanical design in a tactile way.

Yes, the kit is well suited to classroom activities where students can test concepts like linkage, stability, and modular design.
Assembly time varies with experience, but adding the four sections typically takes under an hour for a single builder familiar with small model parts.
Replacement parts availability depends on local suppliers; keep spare fasteners and check hobby shops for compatible universal joints if you plan heavy use.
Additional length can increase drag and rolling resistance, so monitor motor heat and performance when running longer configurations.
