Tamiya 70244 Swivelbot official product video



★This assembly kit creates a model which moves on two smaller front and two larger rear wheels, swiveling to the right when it meets obstacles such as walls. This unique movement is produced by the crown gearbox which moves the front wheels. ★Swivelbot moves forward when the way ahead is clear, and when it hits an obstacle, the front wheels stop and the crown gearbox turns to the right until the way is clear again. ★This model features a unique rounded body with semicircular bumper and front/rear wheels molded in light violet ABS resin. ★The top antenna also moves. ★Includes everything needed for easy snap-fit/screw-together assembly. Comes with stickers to decorate the model. ★Length: 102mm, width: 90mm, height: 82mm. Includes mini motor and requires R03/AAA/UM4 battery (x1) (sold separately).

Tamiya 58690 Landfreeder Quadtrack TT-02FT unboxing video



It’s been sometime since we’ve done a stand-along unboxing here on the channel, but when the Tamiya Landfreeder Quadtrack RC Truck Kit arrived we felt it needed to be seen. This new kit from Tamiya is based on the TT-02 chassis, but is now designated as the TT-01 FT because of the four tracks on the trucks suspension. That’s right, no wheels, just tracks to help the off-road truck tackle nasty terrain like sand and snow. In this video, Greg will go through the box and show you some of the unique parts. Tamiya RC model fans will surely appreciate seeing some of these new parts up close. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss the review of this truck!
