Tamiya 70238 Kayak: Practical STEM Kit

The Tamiya 70238 Kayak is a compact assembly model that illustrates how simple mechanisms convert motor rotation into paddle strokes. It is a useful learning tool for anyone curious about linkage motion and basic propulsion.

Authentic stroke motion

The assembled kayak measures 210mm long, 200mm wide and 105mm tall. It employs a compact underwater gearbox combined with a submarine motor mini to drive the paddle through a crank and connecting rods, producing a lifelike paddling motion for testing and display.

Steering and presentation tweaks

You can modify paddle blade angle to affect steering and behaviour on the water. The included PE foam section provides flotation and doubles as a neat display base. Paddle durability benefits from rubber rings and the kit comes with water-resistant stickers for customised looks.

Specifications

  • Length: 210mm
  • Width: 200mm
  • Height: 105mm
  • Material used: PP plastic for paddle and figure
  • PE foam piece for stability
The kit is aimed at novice to intermediate modellers aged around 10 and over, and makes a good introduction to mechanical linkages with some adult help advised for younger builders.
The design incorporates components and construction intended for use in calm water; take care to avoid prolonged submersion and check seals after use.
Many users replace worn rubber rings or fit alternative motors that match the gearbox specification. Check compatibility and source parts from reputable suppliers if you plan modifications.
