Tamiya 70179 Submarine Motor Mini Educational Kit with Float  [70179]

Tamiya 70179 Submarine Motor Mini - Educational Construction Kit

The Tamiya 70179 Submarine Motor Mini sits within the Educational Construction Series and is aimed at young engineers and hobbyists keen to learn basic mechanics and buoyancy. The kit ships with the submarine motor and a 6mm thick styrofoam float to support simple, hands-on water tests and classroom projects.

Practical STEM Projects

This set is great for learning through doing, letting users test propulsion and flotation in real water trials. The components let you observe movement, tweak balance and understand how thrust and buoyancy interact, and it can be used alongside 1/700 scale Waterline Series models for more detailed builds.

Power and Fitment

The Submarine Motor Mini runs on a single R3/AAA/UM4 alkaline battery (sold separately) for easy power-up and field testing. Its design is compatible with many Tamiya construction items, so modding into different models and educational rigs is straightforward.
