Tamiya 70097 Twin Motor Gearbox for Makers and Students

The Tamiya 70097 Twin Motor Gearbox is a versatile module for makers, students and club builders exploring mechanical design. It is driven by two FA-130 motors and built in durable plastic to pair cleanly with a wide range of Tamiya construction and robotics components.

Performance and Gear Options

Users can select between 58:1 and 207:1 gear ratios to experiment with higher torque or higher speed configurations. The gearbox is straightforward to integrate into experimental rigs, small vehicles or mechanical prototypes.

Classroom Use and Learning Outcomes

As a teaching aid, the gearbox supports hands-on demonstrations of gear interaction, power transfer and motor pairing. Students can assemble and test the unit to gain direct insight into mechanical advantage and system behaviour.

Assembly is approachable for beginners with basic workshop skills; parts snap or screw together and the manual guides correct motor and gear placement.
The gearbox is designed for compatibility with many Tamiya construction and robotics kits, making it easy to incorporate into existing builds and experiments.
Keep gears free of debris and check motor mounts periodically. A light clean and inspection after extended use helps maintain smooth operation.
Yes, switching between the two gear ratios provides a clear demonstration of how gear choice impacts speed and torque in a mechanical system.
