Compact Tamiya 70153 Submarine Motor for DIY Projects

The Tamiya 70153 Submarine Motor is designed for makers and students looking to build simple watercraft. It provides a clear introduction to small electric motors and basic control mechanisms without complicated assembly.

Practical Hands-On Exploration

This kit supports practical learning about propulsion and floatation through direct experimentation. The package includes a type FA-130 motor and a suction cup attachment that can be fixed to bottles, planing hulls or other lightweight platforms for testing ideas.

Design Notes and Use Cases

Included is a small rudder for basic steering, helping model runs track straighter on the water. Continuous running time can be up to two hours depending on battery condition. One R6/AA/UM3 battery is required and sold separately.

Can this motor be used in student workshops?

Yes, the simple wiring and mounting make it suitable for classroom activities and guided workshops where safety and straightforward results are priorities.

Is additional waterproofing needed?

The motor is not fully sealed, so keep electrical connections dry and consider simple waterproof barriers if testing in deeper water. The suction mount helps reduce direct water exposure to the wiring.

Are there easy upgrades for more power?

For more speed, use a more efficient hull design or reduce propeller load. Replacing the prop or improving battery quality are common first steps, keeping electrical limits in mind.
