Tamiya 70154 Submarine Motor with Boat - Practical STEM Build

The Tamiya 70154 Submarine Motor with Boat is a straightforward kit aimed at introducing basic mechanical and electrical ideas. It gives a hands-on route to explore propulsion, buoyancy and simple machine concepts by building and testing a small motorised hull.

Essential Features and Learning Points

The kit includes a compact submarine motor that fastens to the supplied polystyrene boat hull via a suction cup. The hull is easy to paint and modify, letting builders personalise the craft while learning assembly skills. Running the motor shows real-world examples of thrust and energy conversion.

How It Helps With STEM Learning

Tamiya 70154 works from a single R6/AA/UM3 battery (not included), demonstrating basic electrical power and propulsion in water. It is suitable for hobbyists, classroom demonstrations, or parents guiding a practical science activity.

Most first-time builders can assemble the motor and attach it to the hull in about 20 to 40 minutes depending on familiarity with small parts and tools. Painting or modifications add extra time.
The kit uses one R6/AA/UM3 battery, which is sold separately. Use a fresh alkaline cell for best runtime and consistent motor performance.
Yes, the polystyrene hull is easy to trim, sand and paint with hobby-safe paints. Avoid aggressive solvents and use light pressure when cutting to prevent cracking.
