Tamiya 72002 High Speed Gear Box HE for Classroom and Hobby Projects

The Tamiya 72002 High Speed Gear Box HE is a practical component for hobbyists and educators who want to study basic mechanics and simple machines. The gearbox ships with an RE-260 motor and offers two gear ratio choices to explore speed versus torque, while its ability to be mounted vertically or horizontally makes it adaptable to many build layouts.

Construction and Performance Details

This unit provides two confirmed ratios, 11.6:1 and 18.1:1, so builders can test different speed and torque outcomes in their assemblies. The kit includes a selection of crank arm types to create varied motions and linkages. Its straightforward construction lets it be slotted into robots, classroom rigs, or custom mechanical projects with minimal fuss.

Project Uses and Compatibility

Well suited to STEM activities, the Tamiya High Speed Gear Box HE helps demonstrate principles of motion, gearing and force. The accessible build steps make it friendly for newcomers, while the functional options give experienced hobbyists room to experiment. It is compatible with a wide range of Tamiya construction and robotics components for extended projects.

Most builds need common hobby tools such as small screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers, and a hobby knife. A small set of metric hex drivers can also help with fasteners used in construction.
The kit includes an RE-260 motor, but many modellers replace motors to change speed or torque. Ensure any replacement fits the gearbox mounting and shaft interface before swapping.
Yes, the assembly is straightforward and useful for teaching basic mechanical concepts. Supervision is recommended for younger students when using small tools or the motorised elements.
