Tamiya 72004 Worm Gear Box HE for educational builds and scale models

The Tamiya 72004 Worm Gear Box HE is designed to support educational robotics and scale mechanical assemblies. With selectable 216:1 and 336:1 ratios and a supplied RE-260 motor, it lets builders choose between speed and torque for their application.

Mechanical features and kit fitment

The worm gear offers reliable torque transfer and can help prevent back-driving in driven elements. The gearbox is compatible with many Tamiya construction kits and the included crank arms widen the possible motion profiles for linkages.

Practical advice for builders

Use the Tamiya 72004 Worm Gear Box HE when you need compact gearing with clear ratio choices. Its straightforward mounting and parts list make it simple to integrate into classroom projects or hobbyist model work.

Use 216:1 for tasks that need moderate torque and higher output speed, such as driving small wheels or fast-moving linkages.
Some assembly is required to fit gears and crank arms and to mount the supplied RE-260 motor. The kit includes instructions for correct assembly and gear selection.
Spare gears and replacement parts are available from hobby suppliers; match part numbers to ensure correct fit and tooth profile before purchasing.
Yes, the worm gear's natural resistance to back-drive makes it useful for maintaining position in lifted or driven assemblies when static hold is needed.
