The Tamiya 70262 5mm Plastic Beams suit RC builders wanting to add or alter structural elements. These square tubes are handy for small frameworks and make precise joins simpler to assemble.
These beams integrate into modular builds and work alongside smaller 3mm pieces or larger 8mm parts. They also accept round, pipe, triangular and L-shaped inserts to broaden layout options and aid alignment.
Hobbyists use these plastic beams as spacers, braces and connection points to reduce rotation of inserted parts and keep assemblies square. They are useful when fabricating a compact chassis, mount or support where consistent geometry matters.
Score and bend the beams with a modelling knife for light shaping, and cut thicker sections with a fine craft saw such as the Handy Craft Saw II or a thin blade craft saw. Finish and bond parts with Tamiya paints and plastic cement for a neat, secure result.
