Hands-on Tamiya 70179 Submarine Motor Mini for School Projects

The Tamiya 70179 Submarine Motor Mini is part of the Educational Construction Series and is designed for learners exploring basic physics and buoyancy. The package includes the motor plus a 6mm thick styrofoam float, making it suitable for quick bench trials and club demonstrations.

Experiment and Observe

Use this kit to run simple experiments in propulsion and balance in water. Builders can try different hull shapes and float placements to see how changes affect trim and movement, and it pairs well with 1/700 Waterline Series models for integrated displays.

Simple Power and Compatibility

The unit uses a single R3/AAA/UM4 alkaline battery (sold separately), keeping setup minimal for field testing. Its compact form makes it easy to add into other Tamiya constructions or custom hobby projects.

Is this kit suitable for classroom use?

Yes, it is well suited to small group tasks and demonstrations, provided a supervisor handles batteries and small parts for younger students.

Can I mount this in a model hull?

You can install the motor and float in lightweight custom hulls or adapt them to compatible Tamiya models to test propulsion setups.

How durable is the float material?

The 6mm styrofoam float is lightweight and ideal for demonstrations, though it should be handled carefully to avoid dents and waterlogging over time.
