Tamiya 70260 Universal Gearbox 2 STEM Assembly Gearbox Kit  [70260]

Tamiya 70260 Universal Gearbox 2 - Clear ABS Learning Gearbox

The Tamiya 70260 Universal Gearbox 2 is a practical choice for hobbyists and STEM educators who want hands-on experience with mechanical systems. Made from clear ABS plastic, this assembly-type gearbox lets users watch gear interaction and learn about gear ratios, torque transfer, and basic machine elements.

Mechanical Design and Operation

This gearbox includes two output shafts - a 3mm hex shaft and a 2mm shaft - enabling independent motion for varied project needs. Removable mounting points let you orient the gearbox on any side to change output direction, an improvement over older designs. A built-in clutch helps protect gears under heavier loads and reduces the chance of damage during stalls.

Kit Compatibility and Practical Use

The Tamiya 70260 works with many Tamiya robotic and construction kits, making it a versatile addition to classroom builds or personal projects. The transparent case is both educational and functional, allowing easy inspection for troubleshooting and tuning while you refine your setup.
