Tamiya 70185 Submarine Motor Mini for Educational Experiments

The Tamiya 70185 Submarine Motor Mini is a useful component for workshops and hobby projects that explore underwater propulsion and mechanical principles. Its small size and clear design make it practical for repeated classroom investigation.

Visual Design and Speed Upgrade

Marked by a red outer case with a white fastener and white rudder, the Submarine Motor Mini is easy to identify during group sessions. An improved winding increases top speed by about 40 percent compared with earlier units, with a benchmark pace of about 1 meter per 3.2 seconds.

Durability and Mounting Choices

The unit is protected by O-ring seals for water resistance and supplied with a 35mm suction cap plus a 50mm auxiliary board to suit different mount types. A rear rudder gives basic steering for guided trials.

Electrical and Size Details

This Submarine Motor Mini uses one R03/AAA/UM4 alkaline battery (not included) and can provide up to one hour of continuous use on suitable cells. Its compact dimensions (Length: 108mm, Width: 23mm, Weight: 41.2g) make it compatible with a wide range of educational kits.

Check seals and battery contacts before each session, ensure the motor is securely mounted, and remove batteries when the unit is stored to avoid leakage risks.
Rechargeable AAA cells may work but will change voltage and runtime; test performance first and monitor temperature during use.
Fine-tune the rudder angle and balance the hull to reduce wobble. Small adjustments often yield better directional stability without hardware changes.
