The beloved kangaroo from Australia
Tamiya presents a robot replica of the beloved kangaroo from Australia. This amazing kangaroo-robot jumps by moving its rear legs simultaneously to go forward. When walking slowly, it also uses its front legs (just like they do down under) and when running quickly, it uses its tail for balance. The legs and body on which the gearbox is mounted employ transparent-colored parts, giving the kangaroo a funky look. The reverse switch is also transparent, giving you a peek at the kangaroo's internal mechanisms.
