Lightweight Structural Rods for Scale Builds

The Tamiya 70117 Plastic Beam set is a handy pack for RC builders and model makers. It contains eight triangular rods, each 3mm thick and 40cm long, suitable for bracing chassis, fabricating mounts, or adding scale details. The plastic offers a balance of flexibility and strength so you can trim, sand, and bond parts without fuss.

Great for Custom RC Reinforcement

The triangular profile gives extra stiffness for small reinforcements, custom supports, and bespoke bodywork. These beams work well alongside common RC materials and can be combined with metal or composite parts for added rigidity.

Handy for Model Making and Prototyping

Beyond RC use, the Tamiya 70117 beams are useful for architectural models, prototyping and hobby classes that need consistent structural pieces. Their uniform size helps keep scale and alignment accurate across builds.

Cyanoacrylate (CA) glue bonds quickly for small joins, while solvent-based plastic cement gives a stronger fused joint. Epoxy is a good option for load-bearing connections.
