Tamiya 70172 Universal Plate L 210x160mm STEM Build Plate  [70172]

Overview of the Tamiya 70172 Universal Plate L

The Tamiya 70172 Universal Plate L is a go-to large mounting plate for hobbyists who need a stable platform for mechanical and robotic projects. At 210x160mm it gives plenty of space for modular layouts, wiring runs, and multiple component placements without crowding the build.

Construction and Mounting Options

The plate uses a grid of 3mm holes spaced 5mm apart, providing straightforward alignment and repeatable mounting points for gears, motors, brackets and standoffs. The hole pattern makes it easy to combine with other Tamiya parts and standard metric fasteners for flexible assembly choices.

Practical Use Cases

This plate works well as a chassis top or structural base when building robots, small vehicles, or experimental mechanisms. Its size supports several gearboxes or motor assemblies and helps keep components arranged for tidy power and control routing during testing and iteration.
