Educational Tamiya 70153 Submarine Motor for Model Makers

The Tamiya 70153 Submarine Motor provides a hands-on way to explore small-scale propulsion in model boats. It suits hobbyists and educators who want a simple, reliable drive unit for experiments and displays.

Build Skills with Real Components

This kit encourages practical investigation of buoyancy, balance and simple electronics. It includes a type FA-130 motor and a suction cup attachment that can be mounted to common materials like plastic bottles or custom hulls for testing.

Practical Details and Usage

The Tamiya 70153 comes with a rudder to aid straight-line travel and basic steering. You can expect up to two hours of continuous operation depending on battery condition. The unit requires one R6/AA/UM3 battery, which is not included.

Will the motor fit inside a sealed hull?

It can be mounted inside a hull if you ensure wiring and any openings remain dry. Use sealed compartments or simple gaskets to keep water away from connections.

Is the rudder adjustable?

The included rudder allows basic trimming to alter the model's tracking. Small adjustments to angle and balance will noticeably affect course keeping.

What precautions for freshwater vs saltwater?

Avoid exposing the motor and terminals to saltwater where possible, and rinse with fresh water after any exposure. Dry thoroughly and check connections to prevent corrosion.
