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.
• Length: 312mm, width: 86mm, height: 158mm (approximate dimensions). Weight: approximately 200g (including battery).
• One separately sold AA battery is required. Continuous running time: about three hours.
• The assembled plastic gearbox has only two cables, which eliminates the difficult assembly of the power unit.
• Gear ratio: 280:1.
• Speed: about 4cm/s. (The model moves 1m in about 25 seconds.)
• The body is redesigned based upon in-depth research at the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum.
• The body made of wood allows easy modifications and decoration with paint and pens.
• Materials: transparent plastic and wood (poplar-type).
• The model strides forward with legs featuring U-shaped parts at soles moving arms, neck and tail. The model also rocks as its weight transfers, and its legs move forward.
• Running on even surfaces is recommended. On uneven surfaces such as carpets, the model may not move or fall.
• Challenge level: 2 (5 is the highest.). Approximate assembly time : 90 - 120 minutes.
