Tamiya 70153 Submarine Motor for Classroom and Hobby Builds

The Tamiya 70153 Submarine Motor is a practical addition for STEM kits and hobby watercraft projects. It gives beginners and experienced builders a simple way to explore basic mechanics and small electric drive systems while remaining easy to fit into model hulls and DIY floats.

Interactive Learning with Real Components

This kit promotes active learning by letting users test buoyancy and propulsion in small-scale models. It includes a type FA-130 motor and a suction cup mount that works on plastic bottles or lightweight hulls, so you can try different experimental setups.

Key Features and Typical Uses

The Tamiya 70153 arrives with a built-in rudder for basic course control, improving on-water realism. Expect a maximum continuous running time of about two hours depending on battery and load. The kit requires one R6/AA/UM3 battery, sold separately.

The motor is suited to lightweight hulls and simple bottle-based boats. It pairs best with small, low-drag models where the FA-130 motor can provide steady thrust.
Use the included suction cup to attach the motor to smooth surfaces or secure it inside a hull with tape or elastic for temporary trials. Ensure the propeller has clearance and the power leads are dry.
A fresh high-quality alkaline R6/AA/UM3 battery will give the best advertised run time. Rechargeable NiMH AAs work too but may yield slightly different duration depending on capacity.
