Overview of the Tamiya 70179 Submarine Motor Mini

The Tamiya 70179 Submarine Motor Mini is offered as part of the Educational Construction Series to introduce basic mechanical and buoyancy concepts. Included are the submarine motor and a 6mm thick styrofoam float, making it suitable for demonstrations and small-scale experiments.

Learning by Experiment

Use this kit to explore propulsion and trim in simple water tests. The parts let you build basic assemblies, observe how flotation affects movement and trial different mounting positions, and it works well with 1/700 Waterline Series components for scale trials.

Electrical and Model Compatibility

The unit requires one R3/AAA/UM4 alkaline battery (sold separately) for operation. Its compatibility with various Tamiya products means it can be fitted into a range of constructions and educational displays.

The kit is best for hobbyists aged around 10 and up; younger children should use it under supervision due to small parts and batteries.
Yes, it can be adapted into lightweight model hulls and is compatible with other Tamiya items for custom installations and classroom demonstrations.
Rinse the float after salt or dirty water use and store dry; avoid heavy impacts to keep the 6mm styrofoam in good condition.
