Upgrade turret movement on your Tamiya 1/16 tank

The Tamiya 53400 Turret Rotation Gearbox adds realistic rotational control to 1/16 King Tiger and Sherman models. This self-contained gearbox brings accurate turning action to your scale tank projects.

Compatibility and installation notes

Designed with Tamiya 1/16 R/C kits in mind, the gearbox suits King Tiger and Sherman kits (56005 and 56007). It contains the necessary mounting hardware for fitting, but separate radio control components are needed to power and control the turret.

Enhances realism and handling

Using this gearbox gives you smoother, more consistent turret rotation so movements look and feel more authentic. Ideal for running on layout tracks or for photographic displays where convincing action matters.

Can I adapt this gearbox to non Tamiya turrets?

Adapting to non Tamiya turrets may require custom brackets or modification. The unit is optimised for Tamiya 1/16 geometry, so plan for fabrication if using other brands.

What radio gear do I need to run the turret?

You will need a receiver, appropriate servo or motor controller and a suitable battery. Choose components with enough torque and resolution for smooth rotation.

Will the gearbox affect hull space?

Installing the gearbox can use internal space, so plan the electronics layout in advance. Dry fit the hull components to ensure clearances before final assembly.

How do I maintain the gearbox?

Keep gears free of debris, check for wear periodically and lubricate with a light gear-safe grease as needed to preserve smooth operation.
