What the Tamiya 70172 Universal Plate L Offers

The Tamiya 70172 Universal Plate L is a large-format plate that simplifies layout work for mechanical prototypes and robot frames. Its 210x160mm footprint gives builders scope to experiment with component placement and motion systems.

Hole Pattern and Fitment

A regular matrix of 3mm holes at 5mm centres lets you line up brackets, motors and linkages without custom drilling. The pattern is compatible with many Tamiya accessories and common metric hardware, making iterative builds quicker.

Typical Projects

Use this plate as a base for wheeled robots, gearbox test rigs or educational demonstrations where modularity and reconfiguration are important. The plate helps maintain clean wiring runs and repeatable mounting positions between revisions.

Minor trimming with appropriate tools is possible, but plan cuts carefully to preserve mounting holes. Test-fit components before final trimming and use deburring tools for clean edges.
Many servos and small motors can be secured using the 3mm hole grid and standard brackets. Check mounting hole locations for your specific parts and add spacers or brackets where necessary.
Use the hole pattern to route cable ties or short standoffs, and group power and signal runs separately to reduce clutter and make maintenance easier.
