Quick look at the Mechanical Racehorse

The Tamiya Mechanical Racehorse finished model joins the STEM Series as an accessible demonstration model for mechanics and motion. As a finished unit, it lets users study how linkages and gearing produce realistic leg movement without a full assembly process.

Motion and adjustability

Front rollers provide low-friction guidance while the rear legs use grip pads for traction. Those rear grips can be adjusted to suit different floor conditions, and the back legs offer two link-rod mounting positions to change the gait style.

Technical features

Driven by a Type 130 motor and a 16.6:1 gearset, the model handles minor slopes such as those found on small junior tracks. The simple screw and wiring layout makes inspection and minor servicing straightforward. Note that one R6/AA/UM3 battery is required and is not included.

Yes. Its pre-assembled nature and visible mechanical parts make it well suited for short classroom demonstrations about gears and linkages.
Periodic checks for loose screws and light lubrication of moving joints will keep the model running smoothly. Inspect the rollers and grip pads for wear after extended use.
Swapping the motor is possible for experienced hobbyists, but any change should respect the gearbox ratio and mounting to avoid fitment or performance issues.
The model runs on a single R6/AA/UM3 battery. Use a fresh alkaline or a compatible rechargeable cell for consistent performance.
