The Tamiya Mechanical Rabbit brings Robocraft design to a compact, finished model that appeals to both modellers and educators. The unit demonstrates synchronized left and right leg action using a crank and link-rod arrangement that turns motor rotation into a walking motion. A simple gearbox sits inline to moderate the motor output for steady operation.
The nearly transparent bodywork allows clear visibility of the internal linkages and gearing, making it a useful visual aid for explaining mechanical motion. The motor and battery box are placed at the front to ensure the rear legs move freely during operation.
At 115mm in overall length, the Mechanical Rabbit is small enough for a desk or shelf but detailed enough to show how the mechanism functions. It is intended for educational and display use rather than speed or competition.
