Warning: A supervising adult should always be present when a child is assembling these products and using them in the water. Always read the instructions and pay attention to the warnings in the product’s instruction manual.Construction projects with arms, legs and fins
★This assembly kit creates the Walking and Swimming Penguin, which waddles on land and swims in the water. ★The submarine motor powers its legs via gearbox as it moves, and in the water the model raises its head and swims with its flippers. ★Requires one R03/AAA/UM4 battery (sold separately)
WALKING & SWIMMING DUCK （Item No：70270）
★This assembly kit creates a Duck which features a central Submarine Motor Mini that powers crank plates via a gearbox, and the feet on those plates do the walking and paddling. ★Plates are connected to the neck via link rods, which convert the rotation of the plate into reciprocating motion, the head bobbing forwards and back. ★The roller and sponge float at the back of the model can be repositioned to apply a turn to your Duck. ★Requires one R03/AAA/UM4 battery (sold separately).
SWIMMING SEA OTTER （Item No：70250）
★This assembly kit creates the Swimming Sea Otter, an adorable model with its paddling tail propelled by a submarine motor. ★Simultaneously, a cam moves the forepaws in a motion mimicking the cracking of a shell. ★Requires one R03/AAA/UM4 battery (sold separately).
MECHANICAL SWIMMER (3 IN 1) （Item No：71126）
★Equipped with underwater gearbox and submarine motor mini, the Mechanical Swimmer utilizes the motor rotation to move the legs up and down via crank arms. ★Requires one R03/AAA/UM4 battery (sold separately).
MECHANICAL FISH (TAIL FIN SWIMMING ACTION)
（Item No：71125）
★This fish robot swings its tail from side to side while swimming along. The main body stays underwater while the dorsal fin protrudes when it swims. The Submarine Motor Mini and Underwater Gearbox move the tail via a crank and linkage rod mechanism. ★Requires one R03/AAA/UM4 battery (sold separately).
ROWBOAT KIT （Item No：70114）
★This is a kit of the humble, ubiquitous row boat. The oars are powered by a motorized mechanism, which translates the motor's rotational movement into reciprocal movement. ★Requires one R6/AA/UM3 battery (sold separately).
A pump-powered construction project
WATER SCOOTER（Item No：70226）
★This delightful kit creates a mini water scooter. ★It moves thanks to a motor-powered centrifugal pump, which pushes water to provide forward motion. ★A rudder governs the direction of the expelled water: move it up and down to change speed, or left and right to steer the model. ★The model is made up of 6 parts and comes with 2 sets of marking stickers to choose from. ★Requires one R03/AAA/UM4 battery (sold separately).
Screw-powered construction projects
AMPHIBIOUS VEHICLE KIT（Item No：70119）
★Styrofoam floats on either side of the submarine motor provide buoyancy in the water while a screw propels the vehicle forward. On land, a worm gear mechanism transfers the power to drive the rear wheels. ★Requires one R6/AA/UM3 battery (sold separately).
⇒It can be combined with Fun Sponge Tires (Item 70241).
⇒See it in action on our official YouTube channel.
SUBMARINE MOTOR with BOAT（Item No：70154）
★The submarine motor which comes with this set is easily switched on and off by rotating the motor body and its rudder angle may be changed to enable running in circles. ★Requires one R6/AA/UM3 battery (sold separately).
SUBMARINE MOTOR MINI (w/FLOAT)（Item No：70179）
★There is plenty of fun to be had with this set which includes an assembly type submarine motor and two 100x170x6mm Styrofoam boards. In addition, water-resistant double-sided tape, sandpaper, a styrene suction cup, and a sticker are included. ★Requires one R03/AAA/UM4 battery (sold separately).
Try out your ideas with submarine motors and underwater gearboxes
SUBMARINE MOTOR （Item No：70153）
★This motor is ideal as a means of propulsion for waterborne models such as boats and floats. Simply rotate the body to switch it on and off. Also, both attaching and detaching of the suction cup is simple. ★Requires one R6/AA/UM3 battery (sold separately).
SUBMARINE MOTOR MINI (FOR R03/AAA/UM4 BATTERIES) （Item No：70178）
★Loaded inside the blue casing is a small motor which will allow you to enjoy the fun of sailing. ★By completely closing the body, the motor will switch on. Also, both attaching and detaching of the suction cup is simple. ★Requires one R03/AAA/UM4 battery (sold separately).
SUBMARINE MOTOR MINI (HIGH SPEED TYPE)（Item No：70185）
★It can be used with a variety of aquatic items and offers plenty of speed and fun. At the rear there is a screw and a rudder that allows you to set the direction of movement. ★A suction cup makes for easy attachment to your creations. ★Requires one R03/AAA/UM4 battery (sold separately).
UNDERWATER GEARBOX SET （Item No：70186）
★The motor has a pinion gear instead of a propeller to move gears and a crown gear for optimum gear ratio. This underwater gearbox has output crank plates on sides. ★Requires one R03/AAA/UM4 battery (sold separately).
