Tamiya 71114 - Mechanical Blowfish  [71114]

The Mechanical Blowfish. Making use of a crank and linkage pole system this robo-fish propels itself through the water by its moving tail fin. White under-belly holds the motor, gearbox, battery box and switch and is sealed water-proof tight. Components can be come up with by snap-lock pieces or screws, and clear green straight back means you can observe all the mechanics even with conclusion.

Tail motion Gearbox transfers motor rotation to moving end movement via crank and link rod. The gearbox plays the vital role of reducing motor rate, allowing for splash free movement. Takes about 7 moments to swim 1 meter.

Water-Proofing Uses water proof taping and plastic O-rings to stop water coming in through screw holes, on / off switch, end fin and joining line between top and bottom halves.

Swimming Control Pull the stopper positioned on foot of the tail and turn left or straight to control the swimming direction. The more you turn the stopper the greater the alteration in swimming angle. The tail is also made from an easy to cut product, allowing you to freely shape the tail for most useful swimming performance.
