Tamiya 70078 Uses in RC Fabrication

The Tamiya 70078 pack is aimed at hobbyists who need reliable small-diameter tubing for model builds. Each pack includes ten clear tubes with a 3mm outside diameter and a 2mm inside diameter, suitable for a variety of fabrication tasks. They are handy for both cosmetic details and practical assemblies.

Applications for Scratch Builders

These tubes are popular for making exhaust tails, protective sleeves for wiring and small structural elements on custom chassis. At 40cm length per tube you can generate many short segments for multiple uses across projects.

Painting and Modification Tips

The clear plastic can be painted or masked for precise finishes and is easy to sand or heat-form slightly for a better fit. Keep spare lengths for quick on-the-bench fixes or new builds.

Is the inner diameter large enough for servo wires?

Yes, the 2mm bore will take most small servo and receiver leads, allowing neat routing inside the chassis or body.

How should I join short lengths securely?

You can butt-join with a tiny internal sleeve or use a strong adhesive like cyanoacrylate; for load-bearing joints consider a custom splice or sleeve for reinforcement.

Will these tubes scratch easily during handling?

Like most clear plastics they can mark if handled roughly. Use fine sanding to remove scuffs and polish as needed for a clear finish.

Can I use them for scale fuel lines or cosmetic piping?

Yes, when painted or weathered they make convincing scale lines and piping for display models or scale RC bodies.
