Guide to the Tamiya 70172 Universal Plate L

The Tamiya 70172 Universal Plate L is designed to give modelmakers and students a reliable mounting surface for experiments and small mechanisms. Its 210x160mm dimensions allow for clear component separation and tidy assembly layouts.

Grid Pattern and Integration

With 3mm holes set on a 5mm grid, the plate supports straightforward attachment of brackets, motors and standard metric fixings. The regular spacing makes it easier to mirror designs and transfer mounting points between prototype stages.

Suitable Applications

Use this plate as a stable base for wheeled robots, gearbox tests and educational demonstrations that require repeatable setups. The space is sufficient to mount multiple sub-assemblies while keeping routes for cables and linkages accessible.

You can drill additional holes if needed; mark locations carefully relative to the existing grid and use suitable drill sizes to avoid cracking or splitting the material.
Plan gearbox placement to maintain gear mesh and clearances, use spacers to align shafts, and secure mounts with even torque to keep the layout square and reliable.
Keep it flat and away from heat sources to preserve flatness, and stack with protective layers if storing multiple plates to avoid scratches and warping.
