- Legs and body on which the gearbox is mounted employ transparent-colored parts, giving the turtle a funky look
- Reverse switch is also transparent, giving you a peek at the turtle”s internal mechanisms
- Assembly is very simple with use of screws and snap-lock parts
- Body, legs, motor, gearbox, switch and screws are included in the kit
- Assembly is very simple with use of screws and snap-lock parts
