Project Overview for the Tamiya 70097 Twin Motor Gearbox

The Tamiya 70097 Twin Motor Gearbox serves as a compact drivetrain module for hobbyists and instructors exploring mechanical design. It uses two FA-130 motors and is moulded in durable plastic for straightforward integration with many Tamiya construction and robotics kits.

Mechanical Capabilities and Fit

With gear ratio choices of 58:1 and 207:1, the gearbox lets builders test different load and speed scenarios. It fits into experimental machines, small robots and construction models to provide a steady, testable power source.

Educational Benefits and Classroom Use

The gearbox supports practical lessons on gear interaction, power distribution and motor behaviour. Hands-on assembly and trials help learners see how changes in gearing affect performance in real time.

Yes, the design and clear mounting points make it suitable for school projects where students can assemble and test mechanical principles safely.
Switching from 58:1 to 207:1 changes the balance of speed and torque, providing a simple demonstration of mechanical advantage and load response.
Periodic cleaning of gears and checking motor mounts for tightness will help keep the gearbox running smoothly over repeated use.
