Tamiya 70167 Single Gear Box Overview for STEM Builders

The Tamiya 70167 Single Gear Box is a compact and adaptable unit that helps users study simple mechanical systems. It supplies four selectable gear ratios so builders can prioritize speed or torque depending on project needs. Its consistent operation suits novices and seasoned hobbyists working on STEM projects.

Gearbox Layout and Operation

This unit uses a single motor arrangement with gear ratios of 12.7:1, 38.2:1, 114.7:1, and 344.2:1. The different ratios let you tune performance toward faster output or stronger torque. A motor cover and crank arm are included to aid integration with several Tamiya construction kits.

Build Materials and Kit Compatibility

Made from durable plastic for the housing and gears, the gearbox is built for repeated use in learning environments. It contains an FA-130 type motor ideal for classroom robotics and other STEM applications, and is compatible with a wide range of Tamiya kits.

Assembly is straightforward for those familiar with basic model kits. Clear parts and a simple motor mount make it suitable for classroom projects and hobbyists learning mechanical assembly.
The gearbox accepts an FA-130 type motor as supplied. Swapping to a different FA series motor may work but check shaft size and mounting points for compatibility before fitting.
Flat worktops or test rigs are best when evaluating gear ratios. Low-friction surfaces help observe speed, while heavier loads show torque performance more clearly.
Keep gears free of debris and apply a light plastic-safe lubricant if needed. Inspect teeth and bearings regularly, and avoid overloading the motor to extend service life.
