Product summary for Tamiya 70103 Universal Gearbox

The Tamiya 70103 Universal Gearbox is a compact, flexible unit intended for educational projects and precision model builds. Its straightforward layout makes it simple to combine with other kit parts and small robotics systems.

Configuration and mounting details

The gearbox features both a hex shaft and a threaded shaft to suit different coupling and mounting arrangements. Plastic gears housed in a metal gearbox case offer a practical mix of lightness and resilience for repeat use.

Motor fitment and ratio options

Fitted with an FA-130 motor, the gearbox provides three gear ratios: 101:1, 269:1 and 719:1. These let you choose higher speed or greater torque depending on the needs of your project.

Use cases in teaching and hobby builds

From introductory engineering lessons to intricate model assemblies, the Tamiya 70103 Universal Gearbox is a handy component to test drive concepts and build functioning mechanisms with standard kit parts.

Suitable projects include small robotic drives, gear reduction demonstrations, and mechanisms where compact torque multiplication is needed without heavy components.
While supplied with an FA-130, the housing can accept similar-sized motors provided shaft alignment and mounting are adapted correctly to avoid strain on the gearbox.
Select a lower reduction like 101:1 when you need higher output speed, and a higher reduction like 719:1 when you want increased torque for lifting or slow drive tasks.
Replacement plastic gears and standard fixings are commonly available from kit suppliers; check the parts list for matching components to keep your gearbox running smoothly.
