Tamiya 71109 Mechanical Tiger Four-Leg Walker Kit  [71109]

Meet the Mechanical Tiger

This Robocraft model offers an engaging build for tinkerers and students. The four-legged design gives a distinctive walking motion while remaining straightforward to assemble for model fans of varying skill levels.

Transparent Body and Visual Appeal

Made from yellow semi-transparent ABS resin, the shell highlights the internal mechanical parts in action. A playful cartoon face and supplied tiger stripe stickers add character to the finished model.

Drive System and Gearing Options

A small rotating motor feeds motion through crank plates to the leg assembly so the tiger walks. There are two selectable gear ratios and four stride choices, allowing builders to mix settings for eight speed outcomes, and a reverse switch switches direction.

Assembly and Display

Parts lock together with snaps and are secured using screws for a tidy build that beginners can manage. The Mechanical Tiger performs best on level, smooth surfaces and should not be used on uneven ground or heavy textiles.
