Tamiya 89901 Mechanical Rabbit requires no assembly – all components are factory assembled, so the fun or engineering experiments can begin immediately after inserting the battery. The original motor and gearbox are placed in the front, ensuring effective power transmission and a natural hopping movement of the hind legs. Rollers fitted to the front paws minimize friction and load, ensuring smooth operation.

The model is designed for driving on flat, smooth surfaces. The manufacturer has included special guides to enable use on Mini 4WD tracks – this is a perfect opportunity to organize mechanical rabbit races with friends.
