Summary of the Tamiya 70189 Mini Motor Low Speed Gearbox

This small gearbox is tailored to modellers and technical hobbyists who want easy-to-change gear ratios and a compact assembly. The Tamiya 70189 Mini Motor Low Speed Gearbox makes it straightforward to experiment with torque and speed in miniature builds.

Drive Motor and Clear Housing

Equipped with a type 030 motor, the gearbox is intended for low current use and lower electronic noise, suitable for delicate builds. The transparent gear housing gives a clear view of the internal gears for demonstration and troubleshooting.

Configurable Gear Ratio Choices

It includes four ratios: 71.4:1, 149.9:1, 314.9:1, and 661.2:1, which are selected by altering the final gear position. The 3mm hex shaft and multiple fixing holes make it simple to attach to compatible Tamiya parts.

Size, Fit and Typical Uses

Approximately 20mm wide, 24mm high and 30mm long, this gearbox will slot into compact scale models such as the 1/35 Panzerkampfwagen II Ausf. A/B/C (Sd.Kfz.121). It is also useful for small mechanical demonstrations and prototype mechanisms.

Basic modelling skills are sufficient. Tasks include mounting with small screws, aligning the 3mm hex shaft, and securing the gearbox so the gears run true under load.
Yes, the final gear position can be swapped while the assembly is unladen. Always stop the motor before making changes and re-check all fixings after adjustment.
The mounting holes and 3mm hex shaft are designed for use with many Tamiya craft and construction items, allowing straightforward integration into existing builds.
