The Tamiya 71124 Mechanical Mammoth is a compact Robocraft model designed for visible, mechanical motion and easy display. It offers a practical way for tinkerers and learners to see gear-driven movement in action.
The mammoth advances with a steady gait while the head bobs side to side for visual interest. A gear ratio of 203.7:1 controls the walking pace, and the trunk can be adjusted by hand to change the pose.
Parts are moulded in clear ABS so the internal linkages remain visible throughout assembly, which helps explain simple mechanisms. No cement is needed, making the build suitable for beginners and group projects.
Operation requires one AA battery (sold separately), keeping power simple and easy to replace. The model measures 165mm long and 107mm tall, making it well suited to shelves and desktop exhibits.
