See Gears in Action with the Tamiya 89918 Double Gearbox (Clear)

The Tamiya 89918 Double Gearbox (Clear) is ideal for builders who want a clear view of gear mechanics. Its transparent shell lets you watch gear trains move, making it a great teaching aid or bench-side learning tool for anyone curious about how mechanical drives work.

Build Features and Observation

This double gearbox combines practical gearing with visibility. The clear casing makes it easy to spot gear alignment, inspect teeth engagement, and test how different input speeds affect output. It is well suited to classroom demonstrations and hobby experiments.

Where to Use It

Compatible with many Tamiya components, the 89918 integrates into educational models, small robots, and DIY projects. It is a flexible unit for experimenting with gear ratios, drivetrains, and simple machines while keeping the internals visible for learning.

The transparency allows direct observation of gear interactions, which helps diagnose issues and demonstrates gear behaviour during different loads and speeds.
Modifications are possible if you respect shaft sizes and clearances. Custom gears require matching bore sizes and correct alignment to avoid premature wear.
Yes. Its clear housing and simple assembly make it well suited to step-by-step demonstrations of gear ratios and mechanical advantage.
Start with low-power motors, check gear alignment before running, and log speed versus load to illustrate ratio effects clearly.
