Tamiya 71115 Sliding Mouse - Vibrating Action is a unique educational model from the category of mechanical assembly kits, designed especially for younger modelers and hobbyists interested in mechanics and robotics. This product offers a highly interesting concept of movement – instead of classic wheel-based drive, the model moves thanks to a sophisticated mechanism set in motion by an internal electric motor.

• Scale: The model is not made in a classic scale – it is an educational kit, with the length of the model at approx. 97 mm and a height of about 70 mm.
