Tamiya 70167 Single Gear Box Introductory Summary

The Tamiya 70167 Single Gear Box serves as a clear example of basic geartrain principles for robotics and teaching projects. Its four selectable ratios allow practical demonstrations of the trade off between torque and rotational speed.

Drive Options and Performance

Configured around a single motor, the gearbox features 12.7:1, 38.2:1, 114.7:1 and 344.2:1 ratios. These settings let you adapt output for lighter, faster tasks or slower, torque-heavy operations. A motor cover and crank arm are supplied to assist with fitting to multiple Tamiya frameworks.

Durability and Kit Integration

The gearbox uses moulded plastic for case and gears, designed for regular handling in educational or hobby settings. An FA-130 type motor is included, making it easy to add to small robots, classroom builds and other Tamiya projects.

Motor life depends on load and duty cycle. Under light educational testing it should last for many sessions; heavy continuous loads will shorten service life.
The included mounting features and crank arm simplify integration with many small chassis. Confirm mounting hole alignment on your chassis before final fitting to ensure a secure installation.
Higher numerical ratios provide greater torque, so the 114.7:1 or 344.2:1 settings are better for lifting or slow, heavy movements. Test under controlled load to confirm suitability.
Replacement parts including gears and motor items may be sourced through hobby retailers or Tamiya parts catalogues. Check part numbers and compatibility when ordering spares.
