Tamiya 70264 Construction Series Walking Tyrannosaurus

STEM Kit

The classic wooden Walking Tyrannosaurus, originally released in 1993, has undergone a makeover. The formerly used metal gearbox and parts are changed to the assembled plastic gearbox (featuring built-in motor with cables) and plastic parts for safe and ease of assembly. Transparent plastics offer visibility of mechanisms.
