Tamiya 71104 Mechanical Ostrich (Two-Leg Walking Type)

Long-legged Ostrich
Tamiya presents its next Robocraft Series item, the 2-leg walking-type Mechanical Ostrich. Motor rotating power is transferred to the legs via crank plates to make the ostrich walk. Legs and body on which the gearbox is mounted employ transparent-colored parts, giving the ostrich a funky look. Reverse switch is also transparent, giving you a peek at the ostrich’s internal mechanisms. Assembly is very simple with use of screws and snap-lock parts.

Walking the Ostrich

The rotary motion of the?crank plate motor is converted into reciprocating motion by the crank.

Arranged in pursuit of weight balance, such as offsetting the motor and battery box from the center.
