Tamiya 72002 High Speed Gear Box HE - Compact Gear Unit

The Tamiya 72002 High Speed Gear Box HE makes it easy to explore fundamental mechanical concepts in a small package. Supplied with an RE-260 motor, the box gives users two selectable gear ratios and the choice to mount the unit either vertically or horizontally to suit different build orientations.

Layout and Mechanical Options

The gearbox offers two gearing choices, 11.6:1 and 18.1:1, letting builders test how gear selection changes output speed and torque. Multiple crank arm styles are included to create a variety of motion types, and the simple assembly process supports rapid prototyping and experimental setups.

Applications for Models and Robots

Perfect for education and hobby workshops, the Tamiya High Speed Gear Box HE supports demonstrations of force, motion and gearing. Beginners can complete the assembly with basic tool skills, while experienced hobbyists will find it easy to integrate into larger Tamiya builds or bespoke robot frames.

How do the two gear ratios affect a build?

The lower ratio gives higher output speed with less torque, while the higher ratio increases torque and reduces top speed. Choosing the right ratio depends on whether your project needs speed or pulling power.

Will this gearbox fit into standard Tamiya frames?

The gearbox is designed to be compatible with many Tamiya construction and robotic kits. Check mounting points and available space when planning to integrate it into an existing frame.

What routine care does the gearbox need?

Periodic checks for loose fasteners and light cleaning of gears will keep performance reliable. Use a small amount of appropriate lubricant if gears show wear or noise during operation.

Can I use different crank arms for custom linkages?

Yes, the kit includes several crank arm styles so you can build different linkages and motion profiles. Mixing arm styles helps when testing alternative mechanical movements.
